Well today I went to a friend of my father who knows everything about electric circuits. Although you can't see what element on my gp was damaged you could see that the diode has a short circuit in both ways if you tested it. So I could bring him to replace this SMD diode by some other diode which would work more or less in the same way.
Et voilà, after doing so my GP worked again!!!

There was no need to replace the component in the other blue ring as seen on the picture on Chris' page ( this element was a transistor btw ).
Well it's not really difficult to subsitute the diode if you have the right tools so I would recommend everybody to do the same if he got too much power on his GP.

Btw, the failure was not that I had too quick power cycles but the f*cking car adaptor's switch was at 6 Volts accidentally (it's easy to switch grrr)...

Greetz,
David
