So I could swap pins on the connector coming from the transformer to the Power PCB, to set it to run at the correct voltage.
Or mains voltage is specified as being 230VAC, but used to be, or still is, referred to as 240VAC. I wonder if it matters then, maybe I should test the actual voltage coming out of the wall socket.
Just resolder the molex header position on the pcb to be at P854.
But, I think Australia and the UK actually changed over to 230V not so long ago, to get in-line with the European voltage spec (Europe were 220V but if we all go 230V, tolerances allowing, we can all use one voltage without messing up everyone's equipment).
But physically changing over transformers, etc to actually take the supplied power from 240V to 230V is a big roll-out over time I guess. Need to get solid info on that.
