Hi Patrick,

I applied 9V AC power to a RCX 2.0... yes yes, DC is required.

Here are pictures pointing to what I think burned out.
What is that component ?

that looks like a somewhat large diode to me.
In my own picture it is round and is marked with a diode symbol
and "A2".

Anybody successfully replaced it ?

It shouldn't he hard to replace.

But I doubt that it is the only thing that is damaged.
It looks like it is part of the sensor port protection circuit,
so it shouldn't be critical to the functioning of the RCX.

(...) While your RCX is fried, it is probably not from plugging AC power into the power plug. LEGO's low voltage adaptor is an AC adaptor. Or did you mean you applied AC power to the RCX sensor port? (17 years ago, 26-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
