Receiver polarity question
Trying to restart in the hobby and playing with my radios on the bench. I have 3 receivers (AR7000, AR5200, and AR400) that do not power up even when the battery is connected directly. They did work initially so I am thinking I may have inadvertently plugged the battery in with the plug inverted, though I'm not sure what damage that might have done. I do get a real quick "blip" of the led upon first powering up, but then it goes out. I have plugged to the battery and switch harness into another non-spektrum receiver and it works normally. I have a real bad feeling I now have 3 fried receivers, but thought I would put it out here first. Can inverting the battery connection to the receiver do damage to the receiver?
Thanks
Thanks

The more I thought about it, that is what I thought, but I guess I just needed to be sure. One receiver seems to be working again, but the other doesn't seem to power up regardless of which way the plug is inserted.
