Thank you for that Jason.
I was just about to respond with the same information.
I actually had my brother in law inspect the board last night, he’s a gm for jaycar. It was just luck that he was down and could look at it for me.
He advised to go through element14 as jaycar only stock a 60v 16a through hole type which probably wouldn’t work, he was also saying that damaging a mosfet can give reverse reading, rare but can happen apparently.
Inspecting both boards, he couldn’t see any components blown or traces broken and he’s saying to start by replacing this mosfet too.
I’ve called a local repairer to see if they can procure this part, not I’ll try and order it from element14 or alibaba express as they seem to have some.
Also arranging a new rework/solder station today that will can handle soldering work of this nature.
