Hi guys
Quick question. Just shipped my PLX500 back from Vancouver to London. Plugged it it via a plug adaptor to the socket but forgot to change the voltage from 110-120V to 220-240V.
Now not working.
Have I managed to fry it? Pretty gutted if I have.
Any ideas or pointers for a fix would be great. Thanks for your time.
Yikes. BZZZT!
I just looked in the service manual and it says that there's a fuse in the AC assembly... you may want to check that first, if not, the manual says to replace the assembly itself.

Ah amazing, thanks for the tip. Took it apart over the weekend and looks like the fuse has blown. From what I can see everything else looks good. Ordered the replacement fuse which arrived this morning so will fit that tonight and hopefully be up and running again!
Awesome - fingers crossed for ya that was the problem!
Hello,
I had similar issue, I used to live in japan and bought and used plx 500 there.
Then moved back to Mongolia, plugged into 220v it makes buzzing noise and died. Now I realize that my model was suited for 100v.
The fuse seems fine to me but I'll check further. And I'm wondering that can I replace AC filter assembly (704-PLX500-B529) with 704-PLX500-B521?
Sorry, we can't provide that information as it would include a massive risk of shock or damage.
