Yes, I fucked up. I've got the private key but is something wrong. I have transcribed it and there are some characters wrong because it gives me an error. I don't have the qr, only the letters and numbers, it's not compressed so it begins with a 5 and have 51 characters. Is there any way to try all the combinations possible of the 51 characters?

You don't have to try all combinations. You can start with the most probable ones first.
For example, you can start by only assuming you made a single error. Private keys are usually encoded in base58 afaik, so every letter could have been any of these 58 characters. Generally, you could even go farther and check for "common typos" first. However, since base58 explicitly excludes letters which may be mistaken for other letters, I don't think that makes sense. There shouldn't be any common typos from reading or transcribing a private key encoded in base58.
So in your case, I would first try to change a single letter. If that doesn't work, try combinations of two letters etc.
Good luck.

Use a good PC or write code that runs on your GPU.
That's all I can think of
However hopefully, speed won't matter in your case though. If you don't find it within hours with this method, you're probbaly not going to find it ever :/

Why are you storing the private key instead of the seedphrase? QR is an extra. Seedphrase is what's important.

If I'm reading this right, 51 characters should take around 18 quadrillion-zillion years

the phrase can only match a word list where all words were intentionally unique enough that it's hard to do this.

Except if you assume that OP didn't make too many mistakes, it should be recoverable, no?

Yeah mate, you can chalk that one off as a loss, thats why we have seed phrases now, because too many people stuff up private keys. Unfortunately, those funds are now a burn wallet and you've removed a few sats from ever circulating

Forget that account. That key is only to one address. Restore the whole wallet somewhere else with seedprase.

Are you asking us to get the private key from an address?

You sure? If OP has a lot of information about his private key but there is just a single or not too many mistakes in it, there might be a chance, no?
