I'm currently trying to repair two Sinclair ZX Spectrums from Cyberpipe's computer museum.

I was told this one was connected to a wrong type of a power supply. After a quick look inside I kind of agree with that. It looks like a small explosion happened in the voltage regulator.

Nothing else on the board appears to be obviously damaged. With some luck replacing the regulator will bring this machine back to life.
