Thanks. I had no idea that tantalum capacitors had

thought that was only electrolytics. The board has "+" markings for
electrolytics, but none for the tantalum ones. Are you sure they have
polarity?

Tantalum capacitors are a type of electrolytic, and are usually polarised (I?ve never seen
one that isn?t).
They usually burn up pretty quickly if they are the wrong way around.
