If you're lucky only the power board is toasted. If it's bad luck then you'll have to replace both the power board and the main logic board. The good news is both parts together retail for under $100 US, so you should be able to find them on Aliexpress for a lot less. The bad news is the powerboard is not robust; if you want to use the Brother in Nigeria's 240V electrical environment I'd recommend using a 240v-120v step down transformer connected to a 120v UPS / Line Conditioner. Brother doesn't recommend that any of their computerized (sewing) equipment be used in poor power conditions or with step down transformers, the power circuits aren't built to be that strong.

Were the base plate pugs into the power leads, you should read about 6-18 is ohms. Open and short is a bad transformer.

Also there are fuses, 2-3 right next to the transformer, small blueish and round are the shapes. They go bad often.

You probably need a new board. If the machine isn't under warrenty it could be a costly repair.

Somewhere on the machine, usually the bottom, there is a switch to change the voltage settings of the machine. Please check that and your users manual for clarification.

no, it will definately run fine in Australia.Electricity in South Africa is 230 Volts, alternating at 50 cycles per second which is the same as Australia. The voltage in Aus and SA will be somewhere between 220/240v most of the time.

Yes there will be a selector switch inside the machine, this will be near the motor and is either a rotary or flick switch.
