This is so easy to mess up. The plug is so small and will slip right on backwards. It seems a shame this would destroy what was a a good product.

There's a very good chance you've bricked it. Sending a positive charge the wrong way up a circuit is a very good way to destroy electronics.

You could try to put another battery in it to see if it comes to life.

If not, you may have to start replacing internal parts, but everything, including the motors could be dead.

Unfortunately buying a new one might be the easiest cheapest option here.
