Have you checked the battery / tried a different battery?

I'm not sure if the Jet III-M had physical or electronic reverse polarity protection. If it's electronic, then you should be fine. If it's physical, then there's a chance the battery still made contact and destroyed the driver.

I poofed one of my doing that. Not sure if it was the III M but I think it was.
Had to get another one.

You may have to send it in and have the seller look at it.
