Hi Paul,

Thanks for replying that fast...dont worry as i said earlier i didnt 
plugged the unit to the mains as i have some technical knowledge 
too.I did email Dieter from his website as i dont know he has one 
here.
I checked as you instructed and is this what you are refering too?

Seems like i need to resolder the resistor to the 230-240VAC on the 
circuit board.There is a "R228" on the 230V and "R229" on the 
240V...what does this refers too?Resistor value?
