your first gonna need a schematic unless a factory service tech can tell ya if theres a zener diode on the power input or where the internal regulator is located. A zener diode is like a voltage stopper and wont let the voltage go any higher tyhen what the diodes ratings for and can take some punishment but will over heat and fail. Hopfully you didnt burn up any PC traces Good Luck
