UP IN SMOKE!!!

I just tried to plug in my intune because I need to add fuel to WOT. It's running too lean. When as soon as I did, it let out the magic grey smoke and stunk up my whole car. I bought this thing used so I know I don't have a warranty, but can DiabloSport repair it, or do I need to buy an all new one? Please help me? I don't have the money to buy another one.

I took a closer look and it looks like a couple of pins got bent while I was hooking up the connector. I took it apart and from what I can see, it looks like only the connector for the OBDII port burned up. It doesn't look like any of the components went up in smoke. Can DSPort replace the connector and test the unit for any further damage?

I plugged the inTune into my PC with the USB cable and it still powers up and functions so the only thing damaged is the OBDII connector. Please DSport, tell me you can simply replace that connector?

it would be best to send the device in to be checked out....

Looking on your website I see that for out of warranty you charge $99 + shipping. Is that the only cost I'm looking at, or could the cost go up from there depending on the issue?
