Hi All,
I recently purchased an old detector with charger from the US.
Plugged it in with converting plug into Australian GPO and charger, it started heating up and smoking. Please see attached pictures. Both the US and charging plug and converter had gotten extremely hot.
Does the current need converting somehow for this to work?
Have a destroyed my purchase?
Could the plug be replaced with the Australian equivalent?
