Hello, Tempers!
I often buy many (if not all) my electronics from the US and I always need to use a voltage converter in order to use them.
Why buy all the way from the US?
Because local stores are greedy bastards whom often sell for %1000 the original price...... no, seriously...
Anyway!
Does anybody know how I can change voltage requirement by tampering with the insides of a given device?
For example: I bought remote controlled power switches to use on my Air-Conditioners (it's freggin' hot here in the Middle East!).
I forgot about the voltage thingy and I'd like to use them rather than returning them.
Is there a way to permanently convert their power input requirements to use on my local 210-250 volts power grid?
That's not the only example, but one of many.
I'm not exactly a professional when it comes to soldering but it wouldn't hurt to try (except when it comes to burns!).
