>The phone required interior positive an that was, indeed, what the power supply
was. So the wrong connector for the psu my foot... OK smartasses... what could
have gone wrong now, eh? Voltage was EXACTLY the same... PSU had the correct
connector and nothing inside the phone was shorted (I checked), same with the
psu (nothing shorted). The ONLY difference was the difference in the amount of
amps supplied. Come on... explain that one, eh? Bet ya can't

Hi
 First, one should mention that even though you measured
the phone to see if there was a short, it still may have
had a failure ( that blew the first wallwart ) that only
shows up when powered. Adding the additional current may
have simply switched the balance of what smoked first,
the wallwart or the phone. In other words, the phone was
bad to start with, you just finished it off.
 I'm still not surprised or even slightly confused by
the fact that it blew up. I've seen much stranger things.
The solution, I just stated, is one of many that can still
be provided.
Dwight
