Need help fixing Tube Screamer

Need help fixing Tube Screamer
I have an exchange student from Turkey living with my family, and he bought a used Ibanez Tube Screamer yesterday at a local guitar show. It worked at the show. When he got it home he wanted to try it through my Princeton, so I said OK. He plugged a 9VAC transformer into it instead of a 9VDC. He got a hellacious hum for a while. When I got to the room and switched to an appropriate transformer, the pedal didn't work. The LED works but no sound except in bypass mode. Same story when using a battery. Can anybody give me any tips? I'm only familiar with tube stuff. Thanks!!
