- I did not find a 220v version (I live in switzerland), so I ordered a US 110v
- PowerKey and made it working with 220v. However the procedure doing this
- will void the warranty and needs some soldering. You will also need another case.
- I replaced the transformator inside with a 220v and removed the power surge
- protector because he did not survive 220 volts. Then I mounted the thing into
- the new case, which was probably the hardest part.
- My PowerKey works fine on a Classic for about a year now.
- Warning: Don't do this if you are not experienced!
