Roberts revival RD-60 DAB how to repair?

Recently got the radio and is not working, when plugged in the screen backlight comes on but nothing else happens, no text or anything and radio does not work. Thanks.

I have exactly the same issue caused by plugging in the incorrect power supply i.e. exposed to reverse polarity. Trouble is, the PCB is a different layout to many of the Revival RD60 that I've seen on other sites. The PCB is a MP-V1.06. Does anyone know which caps and/or resistors are likely to be blown? Thanks

Check the Capacitor (larger of 2) for bulging/burn marks, check 8 pin IC TDA7231 for damage also resistors fro heat damage. All can be caused by momentary reverse polarity when fitting the battery
