Wonder if anyone can help, I (stupidly) plugged in a set of US speakers into a socket in Australia. They worked for a few minutes then died. Have I stuffed them altogether or just blown a fuse? Appreciate any advice.
Thanks, Danny

Stuffed. If they'd had a fuse, it would've blown the second you switched it on. (I'm an Aussie local, & I've seen this way too many times.)

Probably burned out the primary of the power transformer, if you know a bit about electronics you should be able to find a suitable substitute, something that even has the correct 240V primary even.
How? The Aussie socket is a US 240 volt socket.
Maybe. Ask around for a local repair guy.
open them and find out. Or if you dont know to open them and find out whats wrong, maybe best leave them alone.
Whats the time/value ratio for pc speakers?
If you use a multimeter you should be able to find out whats going on where.
