I'm not sure what you mean by the voltage suddenly jumped.

Do you mean you hooked up the wrong power pack?

Usually a half volt over won't hurt anything.

But we'll assume you're right.

Start at the power in jack and work from there looking for obviously burned parts.  There may be a diode or fuse that is blown if you're lucky.  OTher than getting lucky you may have to replace things piece by piece until you either replace them all or fix it.

There are ways to test MOST parts but without knowing what's there I can't be much help.
