i bought a sansamp rbi from america not long ago. me being a total dumb **** i plugged it into the wall with a computer cable, not knowing that the volts are different in australia, all i know is that i blew a fuse.

and i bought a step down converter, for american volts
but it still wont work...

|  | Registered User | | | | | Finding a repair place and getting an estimate is great if you can do that. But be prepared that the cost of repair will most likely be more than the cost of another used one.
Sorry, it sounds like a pricey lesson...
Best of luck. |

You could look inside and see if there are any obvious signs of damage. It is likely that your transformer inside the unit is blown, but that may not be all. |
