Fried Raspberry Pi

Is there any way to fix a fried raspberry pi? I accidentally sent 9.6v into the 5v pin. Can I fix this or at least get it to turn on? Or do I have to buy a new one? Please Help Me!

It really depends what got fried, and how good your soldering skills are. I have fried uC before and just replaced them saving myself $30+ in the process but they are not really the easiest things to replace. If you fried the voltage regulator, that is simpler to fix as they generally only have 3 - 6 pins. I would try look at the schematic and see what may have blown (i.e. what is connected directly to that pin and check those components, they may be shorting). Good luck and I hope you get it working again

Thanks, but I would probably be better off salvaging the ports and other parts and buying a new one. I am not a very good solderer.
