Have I Fried My GL-1?	Can't Post

I have a GL-1 I've used about a year. I inadvertently crossed the power
leads from a supplementary power supply (lead/acid battery) and can no
longer powerup the camera even when properly attached to any appropriate
power supply. Have I managed to totally fried the circuits or is there
(hopefully) a reset or fuse I can access. I'm scheduled to go on location
Friday for ca 10 days and have no time to run this thru Canon. Can anyone
help?

With luck all you did is blow the three internal fuses - if they were fast enough to protect the rest of the internals.
