I need help getting the Night Owl Optics scope voltage regulator reference

[WilsonNunes]

Hello friends!
My name is Wilson Nunes, I have a Night Owl Optics spotting scope that burned the voltage regulator because I installed batteries with a voltage higher than that recommended by the manufacturer. I need the voltage regulator reference number on a plate located under the battery compartment. To access it, unscrew and remove the battery compartment. If you can't identify the voltage regulator, you can send a photo of the plate so I can copy it. Thank you very much in advance!

can you read the part number on the part? If it is a 78 series, it reads 7812, 7805 ect. with last 2 numbers are the voltage. Best to look it up if its something else.

CDavidLong, first thank you for having answered my request for help.
Unfortunately I cannot read the part number, as it is unreadable.
I have already tested the card and I am sure that the defect is in the voltage regulator.
Without wanting to abuse his kindness, I ask the friend that, if he has a Night Owl Optics telescope, send me the number of the voltage regulator, or send a photo of the plate where it is located so that I can copy it.
Thank you very much in advance!

Another method is to trace the leads with an meter from the regulator to some other ICs with numbers. Look up those ICs and find out their voltage rating. Most are going to be 3V, 3.3V or 5V.

BlackICE, thanks for responding to my request for help.
Truly tracking leads with a regulator meter for some other numbered ICs would be another alternative, however, more time consuming and less accurate. I'll try this method if I can't get the voltage regulator number, because with it in hand, the solution to the problem would be faster and more objective.
A big hug!
