I have damaged my charger NC-72B after using it in a 220 V outlet
(instead of 110 V). Is it possible to fix it?

Anything is possible with enough money

You will need a resitance meter and a lot of luck. Open it up and look
for obvious signs of burnt components. In the last week I repaired two
items that had been plugged into 230 volts that were designed for 120.

One was a Canon printer, it had an exploded capacitor. I checked all the
components I could to make sure they were probably ok, such as the fuse
(it was ok), the diodes (they seemed to be ok), and the resistors.
After replacing the capacitor it worked fine.

The other was an original Sony Playstation. It just needed a new fuse.

Other items I have tried to fix, were not so simple or I was not so lucky.

I often find that it's cheaper or easier to replace or bypass the power
supply and use an external one.

Certainly.

But perhaps you meant to ask whether it would be less
expensive to fix it or to replace it. That is a very different
question.

It might be cost-effective if you could fix it yourself,
but not recommended without previous experience
fixing these kinds of circuits. They are frequently rather
tricky, and almost always dangerous. If you have to
ask the question, it may be a good indication that you
should not consider doing it yourself. OTOH, if you
have to take it to someone who charges commercial
rates, it may very likely be less expensive to just replace
it.
