I once blew up a Next. We had sent one (our only one) back to the States from the UK to fix a fault (can't remember what the original fault was). When we got it back I was stoked to plug it in and start using it. When I did - BANG! The Americans had left the voltage selector on the power supply set to 120V, rather than the UK 240V.
Edit: Thinking back, I think it was actually the monitor (which was a Next one) that blew, not the computer itself.
- the-dude 6y agoNice try blaming someone else.
- zabzonk 6y agoWell, I did blame myself somewhat (anything in my comment suggest otherwise?), but do you always inspect the voltage selector when you plug something in to the mains?
- the-dude 6y agoYes your comments suggests otherwise : The Americans had left. And no, I do not always inspect the voltage selector, but I might when it comes from 120V territory.
- zabzonk 6y agoI don't want to get into an argument about this, but: > I once blew up a Next. Me taking blame. > The Americans had left the voltage selector on the power supply set to 120V Me describing the problem. So, enough.
- tyingq 6y agoThat's an odd response. An EU based customer returned some equipment. The manufacturer should return EU appropriate hardware and settings.
