Hi Guys,

I think i put the wrong PSU (12V instead of the 5V) into my Minix and now it won't turn on.

are there any ways to jump start it or see if there is any life to it?

Or should i just throw it in the bin?

Cheers
 
What happens if you plug back the 5VDC 3A adapter, does the blue LED light up ?
Try depressing the reset switch and the power switch together.

You will have fried it. Throw it in the bin.

try to measure it with an avometer or you replace it with a fuse 3.15 amp. I'm sure it broke because of a voltage error, you can see the green box that I marked

Over-voltage won't blow the fuse!
A current surge will.
 
you only need to replace FB1 and FB2. maybe it broke, there is an IC U2 regulator for a safety surge in voltage, if it breaks it will break the fuse F1 FB1 FB2 and IC U2 ... good luck
 
"gtachmad" has suggestion to replace this two Ferrite beads, FB1 and FB2 with the F1, 3.15Amper fuse, to fix the board of Minix X8-Plus unit to solve "Won't turn on " issue. 1679007863946.png
