So you're saying the positive on the board is actually the VIN? I'd think that VIN = VIN and not VIN = GND but fair enough. The VIN is indeed the lower screw terminal on the actual board but the VIN is the upper screw terminal in the diagram, which is what is confusing me, unless that just means the block instead of the lower terminal. That very much so seems plausible. The other thing that confuses me is that if I wired it correctly to the diagram, I would not have done damage to the board. I had my V+ from my PSU to the + on the board and V- to the bottom terminal (GND on the diagram), which was correct with the diagram.
Edit: I may have actually had a fault with the board instead which meant that the diagram was not wrong and my board fried when I wired it correctly this whole time.
Edit 2: The back of the board has the correct wiring as well, which still confuses me as I did wire it correctly to the diagram and the rear labels on the board. I will try checking my PSU again and swapping the V+ and V- cables and seeing if it works (which it shouldn't).
