Default terastation pro internal power supply replacement.

I am apparently the first person buying a Buffalotech Terastation Pro
in the USA and trying to use it in Europe. I failed to notice that it
only supports 120V instead of 240V and a lot of smoke later it dawned
upon me I blew the power supply.

So now I have a brand new and completely uselessTerastation Pro. The
power supply is not a standard ATX type of power supply, but a smallish
PCB board with one connection (2 wires) to the power cable plug and
another (10 wires) to the mainboard. Photo's can be provided on
request.

My question now (after you finished laughing) is wether anyone knows
what type of power supply the Terastation uses and where I could buy a
replacement that should work in the EU.

Don't tell me to contact Buffalotech on this. I am .... and they are
not really able to help me up to now.

Thank you in advance,

Aragorn.

Open up the box, and take a look at the label on the side
of the power supply. Note the details (volts @ amps). Write it
all down. Next, take a ruler, and measure the power supply.
What are the length, width, height ? Are there any fans on the
power supply, or any vent areas of note ? The dimensions of the
supply, and the fittings (screw holes where it mounts on the back),
might tell us if a standard form factor is being used.

It is hard to tell from the above picture, whether there are vent
holes in the power supply, that extend to the outside, or not.
