Burnin' Down the House

Actually, just a spark. I did not get to Julian before he grabbed a plug adapter (adapter, not converter) and plugged in his Wii. The lights immediately went off at Konneritzerstrasse 78. I'm pretty sure the fuse just blew in his power supply and the Wii is just fine. I'll have my colleagues at work open it up an replace the fuse (proprietary fasteners must be drilled out or slotted with a Dremel for removal with a flat blade screwdriver.) Worst case, we saw a dual-voltage supply online for $15.

We got the lights back on with the flip of the circuit breaker.

Now Julian has received a North American Vs European power distribution lecture as well as a lesson from the best teacher - experience.
