Rechargeable batteries CANNOT be used in this, ONLY alkaline batteries. Rechargeable batteries are ACTUALLY lower volltage (about 1.25 instead of 1.5) that is very near the cutoff point for operation so even fully charged rechargeables last only minutes. Sorry you used "universal" adapter because either you chose wrong polarity or too high a voltage and fried the internal voltage regulator. It is repairable by repair facility.
