I have a set of stereo computer speakers, Altec Lansing, Model #BX1121 ''Powered Audio System'' that has a subwoofer and a left and right speaker. When I plug the system in and turn the power on, I get nothing, as if there is no power going to the system. It is manufactured for 120V-60Hz-30W. I am currently overseas where the standard voltage is 220V. I suspect someone may have plugged the system into 220V by mistake. If so, could this have damaged the system. And, if so, what electronic component would most likely have been damaged, and is it something I can fix? If I can fix it, how do I do it?

I did the same thing when i was over seas, damn 220v, and all it did was blow the fuse in the unit, if you have an inline fuse (along the power cord) it might have blown there, if not you will have to take the unit apart and change the fuse, might be soldiered on the circuit board but its a relatively easy fix, just hope that the board itself didnt get shorted out, if so you will need to replace the system, i used this website when i was overseas and all my stuff got to me with in 10 days...
