voltage regulator for SK40C

[kcyong]

Recently I buy a SK40C and play around with it. I didn't realize my circuit have short circuit but i still connect it with SK40C. And after a few second, smoke come out from SK40C.

Is the voltage regulator in SK40C burn out? i measure the output voltage for the voltage regulator is 3.24V. So i plan to change the voltage regulator. Can i change it with voltage regulator 78L05? Which type of voltage regulator suitable for replace the voltage regulator in SK40C?

thank...
