Traded a couple of large brown trout I raise on the property for one of those generic yellow deals made in china. I think Harbor Freight sells them. Normally I get top of the line in something as I've had too many bad experiences with junk but since no money changed hands I thought I'd go for it.
It was dark in the shanty and I left my glasses in the house (pond is in front of the house). I think I put the positive on the negative and vice versa on the battery which of course is a big no no. When I corrected it no dice. No light indicators on, and for all intensive purposes the monitor is not getting power.
I thought it might be the cheap arse fuse but as far as I can tell it's not burnt. And I all the connections in the wire harness that goes from the battery to the monitor seem O.K.
I used the alternate power cord that connects to a cigarette lighter with no luck either.
Battery is fully charged and I had the camera working before I went out.
Thoughts?
