S10 S912 fried?

I was stupid and used my STB decoder adaptor for my S10 Amlogic S912. It does not boot. The blue standby light is working. Stable blue light.

Instead of getting 5V 2.5A it got 12V 1.5A. Is there anything to do about it? Could it be a fuse? Could I jump start the thing? Or is it likely to be dead? Is there another way of booting it?

This is what I got: R-TV BOX S10 KOD17.3 DDR4 3GB eMMC 32GB TV Box

I took my H96 Pro apart, well broke the top cover off. There isn't a fuse in there.

The only way, is to take it apart & look, if it doesn't work, you have nothing to lose.

isn't this crazy cheap? do anyone know why this is like 20 GB-P cheaper than the other H96 pro plus? And are you able to boot Libreeelec from internal memory on the H96, bubblegum57 ?

My H96 Pro, is not plus it has 2GB RAM 16GB storage, S912, & I am running Libreelec from it, not internal, just usb

I wouldn't like to comment on that product.

Like the others say, take it apart and have a look. Quite likely 12v in a 5v input is going to let the magic smoke out. Poking about with a volt meter is not going to kill you...
