Check the main power fuse. If there is an external AC adapter, check
its output voltage. If there is an internal transformer, check its
output.

TIA:

There is an on-board power supply/charging circuit. Try there first. You
should be able to see the power in, and trace through to the various
voltages out. If you have good goes-intos and bad goes-outofs then replace
the circuit board.
