Alright,
So I did a really, really silly thing and I'm going to admit to it right up front so I don't get a hundred lectures about it.
I ordered a Apple II GS / ][ GS / whatever, the only ones I could find on ebay were from the US so I ordered one and, well, it never occurred to me that the PSU wouldn't be able to take a UK charge from the mains. Anyway, I suppose you could say, I done ****ed up. This was about two years when I was really only just getting into this stuff, so I'd ask you to go easy on me.
What I want to know is, is the whole unit bricked? Can I get a new PSU, particularly one that's designed for UK voltages? Can I repair the current PSU? Will I banished from the vintage computer forums for my stupidity?
Answers to any or all of these questions most welcome.
