The radio doesn't power up . Closer examination shows . Wafer top 8 Pin Chip on the power supply PCB . snapped and half lid damaged and also a green resistor underside of PCB . charred carbon residue .
Suspect the Chip & Resistor . THOUGH no part identification details
Has anyone got a Service Guide . Last resort would be to get an identical One of this Radio and check on that
The components you mention will not have self-destructed - they will have been damaged by too much current caused by excessive voltage - i.e. something else failed and that caused the damage you notice. There may also be other damage that you can't see. It's a terminal case.
Your best option is to discard and replace. Amazon sell this radio for £45
Good luck...
