Apparently fried Jaguars are a common problem. Mostly from people trying to use center-positive wall warts (aka all of them these days) instead of center-negative like the official Jaguar wall wart.

Common enough that there are people selling Jaguar repair kits online that specifically contain the voltage regulators and capacitors that get blown up by a center-positive wall wart.

Guess I'll try my hand a SMT soldering and see if I can repair it.

They didn't have like a diode or something to prevent that?
