Hi I have a problem and I hope someone can help me!
I purchased an electronic device on ebay that comes from the US (I live in Australia). it came with an adapter that was not attached directly to the device but you have to plug it in to the device etc. The input for this adaptor reads AC 120V 60Hz 9w and output DC 12V 400mA. Unfortunately I tried to plug the adaptor into the wall using a normal US to AUS wall transformer and it burned out after 5 seconds of use. So I'm wondering - does that mean the whole device is ruined? or can I simply replace the adaptor it came with? And if so - what kind of wall transformer would I have to use to plug it in to ensure it does not burn out again? I am kind of upset as I spent a lot of money on this
