We use a laptop to connect to an omron CPM2A serial port for programming and data transfer. Using a usb to serial adaptor and a blackbox connecting cable. The operator of the equipment had a failed ac power plug that powers the plc and changed it reversing the hot and neutral lines. the result was when connecting the plc to laptop it blew out adapter, plc, and laptop. apparently it sent 115 volt ac via ground into usb port of laptop. Laptop appears to try and power up but shuts down after a few seconds. Any repair possible or do i need new motherboard.
