[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 55537, member: 5184"] First of all, concerning the warranty, I'm afraid you can forget it. If you plug a 110V device into 220V, it's your fault, not a technical defect. It's like if you had dropped it down the stairs and wanted the warranty to cover that. This is true for any electrical device, no matter which brand it is. What surprises me is that you eMac doesn't have an autosensing power supply, means it recognises automatically if it's on 110V or 220V. My PowerMac has such a power supply, even the one for my iPod is autosensing. Older Macs had a little switch on the Power supply which hat to be set manually to either 110V or 220V. As we only have 220V here in Europe, I don't think this is specific to european models. Check your manual, it should state in the technical specifications if the eMac can handle 100V-240V (that's how it's written at the back of my Mac). If this is the case, then it should be covered by the warranty, as obviously something was wrong. But otherwise, I'm afraid you really have a pretty expensive paperweight... [/QUOTE]
