    Default SH*T!!! (insert Profanity)

    The dremel I just bought - for customising ... I just blew its charger!!!

    I didn't know about the voltage difference, being the wise, well travelled and sage-like person I am and now... it's shat itself. <_<

    RANT RANT FRUSTRATION!

    Am trying to get into the warranty side of things, but it REALLY REALLY sucks cause I just got it on Friday. <_<

    GRARGH!

    On the upside, the dremel still has power and I am doing some modestly funky things with it. Pics soon. ARGH!

    I bet you would have supersized it first before you sold it to him...

    Looking at the title again, I'm surprised you didn't borrow my oft used eloquent phrase from last Wednesday night.

    It'll be okay with a new power supply, yeah?

    Doesn't the U.S. have a different voltage from Australia? If so you may need to use a transformer (step-up/down). If you were using a transformer and it still blew on you then you might need to see if there's something faulty with the transformer or if it was the actual charger itself that buggered up on you. Hope things work out either way. :/
