Wrecked or fixable

[Luke90]

So whist preparing for next years light I was setting up a spare J1SYS P12S controller to test out some lights and hooked it up to 12v after setting the controller up for 5v

Is this something I can get a computer repair place to fix or is there no hope now?

if you are looking for someone to repair it, think more the kind of place that fixes TVs

Thank you, I’ll start looking around Newcastle if I can find someone

Have heard good things about modulerepair.com.au
Could try sending them a few pics and see what they say.

They are so old now that it's probably cheaper to buy one from someone who has one sitting in a drawer somewhere.

The 3.3V regulator (U4) and the 74HCTxx buffer chips will be toast. The main micro may have survived as it's not directly on the 5V line.

Easy fix or won’t be worth it?

If one turns up I’ll probably grab it. I’ve got 4 other boxes set up ready to go and another couple currently being done up

I could take a look sometime, but it may not be worth the post, etc

No problem thanks for that, I’ll see what comes up throughout the year
