Dear all,
My wife and I have two iPAL's. Mine is older, runs on a 12V charger. My wife's is younger, runs on 9V. I did not know that, until i charged my wife's with 12V. The radio is dead now :-(. According the helpdesk of Tivoli the speaker might be damaged. I doubt that. Anyone an idea? thanks!!!

Hopefully they fused the input to account for that :/. Take the speaker apart and post photos of the PCB, especially around the input. Look for anything that looks like a fuse or has a mark that starts in F to quickly find it, even 0 ohm resistors in the vicinity as a lot of companies use them as cheap fuses.
Once you find it, test the fuses and resistors (especially 0 ohms used as a fuse) with a multimeter and if it doesn't beep replacing the fuse will likely bring the speaker back to life. It may be soldered so be prepared for that.

Thanks Nick! I disassembled the radio, but could not find any fuse or something like that. the PCB is made with SMD components, making repair quite impossible anyway. I had some hope to find the PCB as a spare part somewhere but did not succeeded yet. It is a lost cause I am afraid. Thanks again for your effort! rgds Leo
