Reverse polarity (-3.7V) was applied accidentally to a BQ24250 Battery Charger IC which is part of Texas Instruments NIR Scan Nano spectrometer. As a result the IC is damaged and the device does not turn on.
As per the datasheet of BQ24250 the absolute voltage that the battery port on the IC can take is -0.3V. This high negative voltage probably caused BQ24250 to fail.
Could any one please suggest if it is possible to resolve this issue by replacing BQ24250 and if required, other components affected components ?
Thank you !
