If it's drawn lots of current replace the regulator as well as that should be the limiting factor, a diode makes sense for polarity protection, check the datasheet for the regulator and you'll know the max current that the diode should have to deal with.
Maybe the mains adaptor has gone wrong and put unregulated voltage to it.
