Does Rocketfish offer a replacement board?

Bob David - Reply

“No Parts Required” is a joke . Where are the replacement boards available from?

Petie Martin - Reply

I used the wrong ac adapter, which worked for a few weeks then the unit died and won't power on. Would anyone know what I should check out with the multi meter to see what's wrong and see if I can fix it? Thanks!
