Hi!
I recently bought an HP R707 camera in the united states. I brought it
with me to Europe over christmas. When I plugged it into the wall (the
voltage is 220) and took a picture at the same time it seemed to be
more than the camera could handle. An exploding sound came from within
the camera (kind of like a fire cracker), and since then it has not
been working in any way. I was aware of the voltage difference (in the
US it is only 110), but the power supply that came with the camera said
"input: 110-240V, so I reasoned there should be no danger...
Have anyone experienced something similar? What precautions can you
take in the future? What about laptops, will they also explode?
I Would be most grateful for any information.
Anders
