bought a cheap tattoo kit

[666vt]

yeah, so i got one of them cheap tattoo kits off ebay, it came from china.

stupid idea in the first place... connected it all up and it just stopped working, im guessing ive blown something in the power supply. if i take it to an electrician do you think it would cost much to be fixed?

im not sure what caused it to stop working... theres a switch on it where you can choose between 115 watts and 230 watts, i think it was on 230 watts when i connected it up, is this why it blew should i have had it on 115 watts?

i have no idea when it comes to watts and volts and stuff =S

dont really want to send it back to china and wait ages and pay heaps for shipping fees... plus the communiction is horrible between the chinese and i. nothing makes sense when they send me info.


please help guys, cheers in advance.

...an another thing, would it be stupid to unscrew it and have a fiddle?

screwing and fiddling hey...

sorry, what was the question?

pics/link to the item.

but honestly, if you don't even know the difference between watts, and volts, I'd throw the whole thing in the bin and save yourself the embarrassment of taking it to someone that may be able to fix it.

yes it would

Aussie and chinese power supply's a re different so youve probably overloaded it

If you are asking about those volts and watts and then follow up with a post like that, then maybe you should leave it to the professionals.
