Fried an old GB-like handheld using an unnoficial AC adaptor

[Phosphora]

Is there any way to revive it? It ran poorly at spec volts(6v on AC), so upped it a few volts and it died. It worked perfectly with batteries.
Did I fry a simple capacitor or worse? (This was done many years ago so please don't flame, just hoping for a chance of revival)

Say if an old yellow-screened GB received too much voltage from an incorrect AC Adaptor, is there a fix?

There is probably a voltage regulator inside that burned, or maybe a fuse of some kind. How about opening it and showing some photos?

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll have to dig the console out of storage. I've been getting back into collecting oddball stuff, so thought that I would ask this question.
It was such a bummer knowing that I broke it by upping the voltage.

what GB-like handheld was it? A GB doesn't cost many dollars.

It's a Gamate console from Bit Corp. It's essentially a reverse engineered GB, but quite costly to replace.

Good quality stuff.
