Hi everyone, about 4 years ago I accidentally plugged in a 12v adaptor into my gp2x and since then it won't turn on with either batteries or the correct adaptor. I've heard it is something to do with the voltage regulator or the LTSK chip but past simple solder jobs I'm useless at this kind of stuff I was wondering if there was anyone in the UK who could fix it? I know it's 2014 and this stuff is pretty old now but wouldn't mind seeing it work again, been ages haha. cheers in advance  
 
Yeah if you plug in the incorrect adapter you will fry the power chip, but it should still run on batteries.  If you can try to find a set of energizer photo lithium AA batteries.  They are 1.5 volts and have a ton of juice. If they power up with that then yes you need to replace the power chip.  If not something else is wrong. 
 
ahh right ok, knew it would be cheaper to get a new one but woudn't have minded the nostalgia haha :)
