Hope somebody can give some hint on what's wrong with my iRobot Roomba 550.

I bought a Newstar 100W step-down transformer. Initially it charged fine, but stop after half an hour. No light at transformer nor adaptor.

Then I bought a Newstar 80W step-down transformer. No light on adapter and no charging at all. Got red light on transformer, and a sizzling sound for a while, then the transfomer explode, with light, smoke and loud sound.

Is the adapter spoilt? Or I need to get a better transformer? Thanks.

For transformer, did you put the switch at the correct voltage? :s11:

input from supply mains should be 220v and output to your roomba power adapter should be 110v. :o

I opened it up to look inside (and it's hot for a few seconds of work), I think most part has melted away. There is even black substance that spills over through closing.

Yah much better if you need this function to clean each room properly.

For my roomba 400 series, I just let it roam around w/o any virtual wall. No problem with that, still can vacuum the rooms quite cleanly :o

sgd420 is quite a good price.
