Probably burned serial interface -- need help

Hi all,


yesterday I mistakenly plugged the 110V/9V AC adapter that feeds the
Charger/serial interface into a 220V power supply (I live in NZ but used to
live in the US and have a weird mix of appliances, converters, and
transformers). After a few seconds I heard a sound of the kind condensers
emit when they pop. I immediately disconnected everything but I guess it was
too late.

The Handyboard (it was connected to the charger at the time) seems OK, but I
cannot connect to the interface board any more. Could anyone suggest how I
can locate the (most likely) defective component? I'm very bad with HW and
wouldn't know how to go about except replacing all the condensers one by one...

Thanks in advance

Stefano Franchi
