OK Thanks gang. What is of greatest concern though is this ... and I'm sorry I didn't put much emphasis on it: I'm getting serious shocks off the Pi while using it, or trying to use it.
I'm a graduate electronics tech from Canada so all I'm used to is 120 AC volts and regulated DC power supplies. I get here to the Philippines and everything is is 220 but due to lack of strict regulation, I get a sense that there may be no grounding here at all, at least not on the recepticle I had the misfortune of using. So I'm wondering now if i fried my Pi or whether this official power could handle a non grounded service ?? I mean if I'm getting mild shocks off the Pi chassis, what are the chances no damage resulted ?
Thanks.
