There is nothing to modify, like any other 100-240V adaptors


Wrong, the main filter cap is only rated at 200V so it will explode if used on 220V AC (220 * sqrt(2) = ~311V DC).
For 220V conversion you'll have to replace the capacitor with a 400V part, and that won't guarantee that it will not blow up again because another component couldn't stand the voltage.

and also the voltage protector is damage... part number 221 E61 E. and the fuse.

my saturn is now okay. i've replaced the fuse and varistor. nah... i've no plans for changing it to 220 anymore... i'll be careful next time. thanks for those who reply anyway. more power guys!  ;D
