If you used a charger that's a higher voltage than the original then you may have caused serious damage to the laptop. Anything is fixable but whether it's worth the cost to fix it is up to you. I recommend bringing it to a local repair shop to have it diagnosed. Many computer repair shops will give you a free quote.
