My main reason for posting was to make people aware of this problem.
If this was a problem for me, and experienced mac user and firm believer of the mac cult, I am sure that more will follow in my path.
Unless they find a thread or a lucky page with information.
It will never happen to me again, because from now on I will be suspicious about voltage. It was a hard lesson to learn.
In the long run, it is only a machine, and it can be fixed. It will be fixed by next week.
I sincerely hope that with this post I have kept at least a few readers from doing the same.
Well you warned me at least... Thank you very very much for that.. I was seriously thinking to buy an iMac from United States and use it here in Turkey, where we use 220V like all European countries.. Now I'll be looking for solutions to that, or I'll buy a PC unfortunately, because of the price difference (500-600 euros or something more...)
