blown resistor

the receiver smells like it blew a resistor and isn't responding to battery (i.e. not turning on). so no more boat this summer. good news is thats currently a $60 fix for the new version, 40 for the old version and like will the be the second old version by the time i get back to the project next summer. so hopefully something around $30? hopefully. just so i remember, the one i currently have (and is broken) is the spektrum dx 7 dual receiver (actual model name: AR7000 DSM2 7-channel receiver). and actually, having just looked it up, i'm already twice removed from the the new version. so maybe i'll be even more so by next summer. i'm going to pretend like its likely so i don't feel as bad having broken this ultra important part.
