      You can post a close up high res well lit clear photo of the fan port area so we can see if there is any damage.

        @Phaedrux Hope it's clear enough.

          Can you try putting the photo on dropbox or google drive or something like that?

              Nothing really visible, but it may still have failed.

                if you have a multimeter putting "multimeter mosfet" into google will show you how to test the mosfet properly its a little involved so doesn't make sense to repeat what google can tell you

                  @bearer Thanks I will check as I have now visually blown P3. Also P1 stopped working. So all 3 now not working! Is there anywhere in the UK that I can send the board to get it fixed?

                  (I bought pre-wired connectors, but I didn't see that although the connectors were compatible at the hot end the polarity was reversed to the fan. I wouldn't have thought that switching the fan polarity would have blown anything - the fans would just spin the wrong way).

                    Send me a PM, I can replace the mosfets.

                    Unfortunately, brushless DC fans don't work like that. A few types just don't work when connected the wrong way round, but most of them present a short-circuit.

                      @dc42 Thanks for the info about the polarity. That now makes sense! I bought some PMV20XNER MOSFETs, but the size of them is way beyond my capability.

                      I tried to PM you, but I get then message "This user has restricted their chat messages. They must follow you before you can chat with them"
