So I'm staying at this guy's apartment. Every computer I touch explodes, but whatever. His mouse stopped working... even though the red light showed. For some reason, I switched a tiny button (as in you have to use your fingernail to switch it) on the back of the computer, just above the place where you plug in the mouse.

Completely died. It's a little red switch that offers a choice of (something like) 220V and 110V, or it seems you can settle in between. Whatever all this stuff means. I switched it back, nothing. Turned off the power, unplugged the power cord, etc. Nothing. The thing just won't start.

I really don't get how this stuff happens to me. Anyone know how I can fix this??

I've heard different stuff... it's fried/I'm f----d, it needs a new voltage something or other or power supply- 30,000 or 40,000 WON, it needs a new something else- 100,000 or 200,000 WON... anyone have any thoughts??

uh, not good, you probably fried the computer by switching voltage.
