[NTLK] Smoking eMate

Bah,

I just bought a beautiful eMate to go with my 2100. Since it didn't
come with a power adapter, I also bought a third party power supply
and sure enough, the moment I plugged it in it began smoking.

Disassembling it, the only component with visible damage is the DZ1.
Everything else about this eMate is literally in brand spanking new
condition.

Since I work for a major consumer of semiconductors, sourcing a
replacement and soldering it is not a problem. However, I wonder what
the likelihood of the DZ1 (or, TPSMB10) being the only component
needing replacement is ?
What else is likely to be damaged ? I have access to test equipment
and reasonable technical ability.

Thanks in anticipation.

-Simon
