| XBOX 360 Help(Power Supply/Block)
I will start off by saying that what I did was probably stupid. With that being said here is the situation.
Just got XBOX 360 delivered to me in Vietnam from Canada. I was quite enthusiastic to play and plugged in the system with out thinking about an adapter. Heard a slight pop sound when plugged in and now the power supply has no light when plugged in.
Im guessing i blew it but would this have any effect on the XBOX?
Can I simply buy a new power supply block then use an adapter this time?

i dunno if vietnam is 240v.... but the north american 360 power supply is 110v only.
good luck finding a 240v power supply on its own. i couldn't even find one for sale separately in hk and there are 3 different versions depending on which system you got. xenon, zephy and jasper all have 3 different power supply

Vietnam is like 240 or something. I can just get a converter but I am not sure how messed up the supply block is. Im hoping that once I get the converter it will be ok. If not it is it pretty simple to get another supply block?

if you know anyone with eletrical knowledge nearby, get them to pop the old one apart and take a look inside, hopefully there's a fuse or something.

I'm pretty sure you can easily get a 3rd party power supply in Hong Kong. They aren't cheap though. If you really want, I guess I could send one to you. PM me if you want.
