My Friend got a new American made computer and I think she forgot got plug it ito the converter or to flick the switch. So it blew up. What does she do know? Is it just one part or is the whole thing fried?

I would imagine that it's just the power supply and possibly just the fuse. In either case, bring it to Yongsan and get somebody to look at it.

Yes. If you are a novice, get the system thoroughly checked out. At best, you need a new power supply. Hopefully it ate all the volts and took one for the team before any of the 220s got inside. If they did get in there, you may be looking at replacing more hardware; a mainboard, at least.

I had the same thing happen a few weeks ago. You can read about where I got the power supply here.

Sorry, I don't know how to do that trick where the link is made small.
