Regarding Faulty LimeRFE

Recently I has done a terrible mistake. I put a wrong power supply connector to my LimeRFE. I have 2 PSU connector for my 2 LimeRFE. I accidentally put a wrong connector with a wrong 12VDC polarity.

After I realize it (in a short time), and I test back my LimeRFE board, there is NO output power for TX port. Is there any chance for me to repair it? I really need to make it works for my client demo.

You can find the hardware design here:

This should help you to fault find.

Thanks Andrew for the reply, I really appreciate it. I already repaired it based on the schematics. Thank God your board design already incorporated with a reverse polarity circuit. The fuse was blown as a result of the reverse polarity circuit functionality. I change the fuse, and the boards functioning back.
