I did something stupid and plugged it into 240v when it was set to 115. After a large bang it doesnt work. Can it be recovered or is it a new one?

You can take the cover off and check to see if there is a fuse inside that it may have blown. I would think it would take out the fuse before it burned up the unit.

So I'm not gonna sugar coat....the breaker opened at 4800w surge on test. Meaning 20a @ 240v. Might be the cheap Chinese breaker on the unit, might be a realistic shock load for it to bear.

Check the wires connected to the converter piece.......other then that id say send it back for a replacement

I'm pretty certain it is only 120V. I did not see a switch or any indication that it can be changed to 240V.

A 240V outlet may be too much power for the motor to handle it may burn the motor or cause a fire. It's best to buy a converter that will reduce it to a 120V just to be safe. Hope this helps.Nancy

Just my opinion, and I am not an expert, but I would guess it would be pretty dangerous to do that, especially if you think there's any chance the circuitry is damaged. If it was a defect, I would contact the manufacturer, but if you made attempts to modify it, you're probably on your own and should buy a new one.

Get the voltage and polarity right and you should be ok. Just be careful not to fry it.

Yes, I had one that actually melted the plastic around the power input. I called them and they replaced it free of charge.

Check the wall adapter you have. I have the original still, and it's output reads as about 5 volts and 2 amps. I'd make sure yours is along those lines.

I'm sorry that happened! And I'm sorry that I can't help you with this issue... that is one for the manufacturer to help you with! Call them and and tell them what happened. It sounds like a major defect to me!!! Who knows, they may send you a new one at no charge! If they want the old one back, tell them that you want them to pay for the shipping costs or it won't be worth the hassle! I wish you the best!

I'd say no. It's 120v 60Hz. But you could try contacting the manufacturer or seller.

Did you plug the unit in? Mine works fine. Perhaps you should contact the a Seller for a new one.

I don't Know, when I bought it. It was working fine maybe you got a one that wasn't working right. If you can try 2 take it back an exchange for another one.

Actually I hooked mine up backwards and nothing happened. On the back of the box it says it has reverse protection, short circuit, reverse night current, overload, and overcharge/discharge protection.

No, its prob a burnt out resistor, it would probably cost more to repair than what you paid for it.

I don't know, I would contact the seller or just return it for a replacement. Amazon has a great return policy.

I don't know exactly what to say, I mean I returned mine because it just turned on but it just wouldn't function at all. I would return it defected because it doesn't work unless you damaged it then that's your fault and loss.
