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

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?

I applied 9V AC power to the internal + - battery connectors.

(...) My mistake. The RCX 1.0 has an AC adaptor jack which has a full-wave bridge rectifier to convert to DC and would provide AC protection. I guess RCX 2.0, without the external jack, does not have this. (17 years ago, 26-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
