I'm overseas in Korea and everything is 220 instead of 110. When I put the 110 converter on my trimmers it makes a very loud noise.

You can not fix the noise if you are using the outliners outside of the usa because even though you are using a transformer to adjust the voltage it doesnt change the hertz and that is what makes it make that noise.....just open the clipper up and fill it with sponge. Mainly around the top of the clipper....it has to be enough to stop the motor from vibrating so much without putting so much pressure on them the blades cant move quickly. after you have done that you may find that the noise will stop depending on how tightly you have screwed the casing back together.....it may take a couple of days of using the clipper and allowing it to heat up a bit for the sponge to mould around the motor. but at the same time using this method will amost definitely effect the performance of the trimmer. if i were you i would bite the bullet and ditch them and perhaps look at a trimmer thats manufactured for countries outside of the u.s.a.......i know the wahl lithium beret is a very sharp blade but doesnt have the t blade....i would still recommend the beret over a t shaped blade like the wahl detailer because it is sharper

SOURCE: plugged 4w 120v trimmer into 220v outlet with a 50-2000w 220-110v coverter - it blew fuse and doesn't work. soldering melted off wire inside

scrap the trimmer...
probablly damaged beyond cost of new one

a step down transformer would have been a better choice than a voltage converter ( not trying to be a wise guy here)..

You need a "step Down Transformer" Available on ebay for about $10-$11 see this link https://www.ebay.com/itm/1600W-WATT-220-TO-110-VOLT-TRAVEL-POWER-VOLTAGE-CONVERTER-TRANSFORMER-STEP-DOWN/261271470822?epid=2280961078&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item3cd4fe42e6:g:uyYAAOSwWV9bPnrq&enc=AQADAAAB8KX%2FKt4E1xf3SDqEdBclaYb3BEV2goiLGFm8pFHXtqqWxpi8UuZ%2B1UmMICagX0mPwzYtCPZLcL0E6Vaah6ZHw722DadNzkh3SM4MH25CRSPyDz9KvizBus75NMrUzhlRLp%2B4V42jC8hHgHYIYx%2B%2F4ycoFIijohPaTQWlPWqQoiUUUNXGfcFmCpcoSSrOtf3PVZcoJ9puUxTsrWPljut5U1XkLTUpfC8GRbje9eRdiyaqM1czASyOWZZgzA57iczV5z3vANeoEC%2BNacVC7bZrYUq5aG3%2F%2FawiBxNf8TwriwXCOw4nCe1FY2tLmRo1wBhjzLcjKTSoA9NXOgfP9yx2GAHB0aImAG6lwuD1Gjsbujapr0tOx303NO4%2FGDIjh23zBM2fFEjQ2lGE4u18hjWq90SC6CeIR6MRzjQmQFq0b%2BCQhZ966xg8sO6%2FP5M15emZQZPI4Wuwx6hC%2FWdQTFVmAkRx5XK1ZrG1qEUEGpPaD1FfdbI0tdiajTnoGtyj%2BYHYMLv7LJIQy8LPkNOtVsM4s4wNyFX29hZBcd90%2BBD9nVBT5XxRvvRld9N6uirS7H1399hftHO5SQD%2F44k8oA6tIY8fkYHruTeGLpXXjdFSuaWZZIJ0ehjAYwCMW6mHoymA2EJQOmGfV1RnrN%2BpaghdG54%3D&checksum=26127147082247fa4391f0f146d69550a6c6cdd31f82

Can I get a European charger for the RCA Viking Pro I've bought in the States? We use 220V instead of 110V

use a travel converter most stores sell them they invert 220 to 110 or visa versa 110 to 220

My new andis t outliner making a loud noise

The Andis T-Outliner that you purchase from the USA is not for UK voltage 220 50 HZ, the Voltage is too high, the only way to control the voltage is transformer from 220V to 120 V. The Andis Trimmer that may work for you is the GTX trimmer this trimmer was manufactured for Canada and there voltage is 220V 50HZ.

Andis t outliner is making a loud noise someone help please?

This unit will not work correctly in the UK as it has a magnetic motor. No matter how you try to tune it it will be very loud and eventually the motor will burn out.

Can the GE skype phones work with a 220v electric socket?

Depends where you bought it. It is the power adapter you need to be concerned about. The power requirements should be printed on the adapter. They do make power converters for using equipment overseas that you could buy. Just google "220 to 110 power converter" and you'll see what I mean.

Wii power source probably broken

Plug something else into the adapter to make sure it works, if it works you may have blown the Wii's fuse which will need repair.

Using battery charger overseas

it's alway suggested that you simply use plug adaptors to change shape of plugs for overseas-do not reduce voltage since most all chargers including yours support 220 or 110
