I think I killed my EX800...Please help!

I think I killed my EX800...Please help!

2005-05-02 by erikeseierstad

Today I accidentally connected the wrong power adapter to my EX800. I
didn't discover the mistake until I saw smoke coming out of the unit.

The power adapter I had connected to the EX800 hav an output of 18
volts AC, which was probably more than the power controlling circuits
in the EX800 could handle.

Is anyone in this group able to help me, or should I just bury my EX800?

You might be able to fix it if it's just the voltage regulator that
burned out.
Or I'll buy it off you for 15 bucks ;)
