    ..well, I'd suggest 'starting out' with just the PS.. I'd prolly let it go for $50. and, since it's well-less than 4 lbs, it can go in a 'Flat-rate Padded Envelope' (..in a tough inner-box, of course.. which will only be about $25-26.-ish, for shipping to Swedenlandia..

    ..But, if you want / need the 'Driver', I'd want quite a bit more for that, and additionally, that will, for sure, cost well-over $100., for shipping.. I'm just 'guestimating', since a 'Large Flat-rate box', is already over $80. and there's no way it could fit in one of those..

    ..I suppose I could *just* sell the Driver 'core' (the 'black box' on the lower right of the 'guts' pic..) and You could swap 'em out, but.. again, it's not going to leave here 'on the cheap'..

    Question, tho.. Does your 'driver-core' smell of smoke? Or, just the little PS-unit? You could certainly 'pop the cover' on the driver-core, and see if you see anything 'burnt' / take / post some shots.. It's not too-likely that the driver, itself, is fried.. I've seen those PSs give up the ghost, before, but it's pretty rare that the entire Driver-core goes, tho.. The indi-crystals / drive-sections can get blown, but even that's rare.. Perhaps a 'little more homework' can save you some werk / expense?..

    Lemme know if you deem the PS indeed-dead / this one will help ya out..
    cheers..

    Thanks mate, Ill take the psu, i don't think there is anything wrong with the driver, looks like new inside and it dont smell at all.
    It was a VDR on the power inlet that went up in smoke on the psu.
    Got some photos of the inside of the driver box

    Cool, but.. one more 'step'.. Compare these pix to the PS you-have, and let's make sure they're a 'match', connectors-wise.. *Should-be*, but.. it's not exactly like we're 'tossing this over the back-fence', ya? I couldn't make the shipment, today, anyway, and I'm on a flight / on gigs till Tues, starting in about 4 hrs, so.. Lemme know, and we'll 'ketchup' on it next week...

    cheers..

    PS - Did-see yer 'imgur' linx, but.. for whatever-reason, browser is being a whiny-bit* and won't load the images so.. I can't really see yer 'guts'.. Best you compare what ya got, to these..

    ..yes, at least we have that.. ..Looks like that PS put on quite the fireworks show! Prolly someone, at some-point, plugged it into 220 or something.. Or maybe 440.. Anyhoo..

    ..What I can do is, label the 'Pins' on the one I have-pictured / would send ya, and you can either 'cut-down' / retro-fit your molex, to match the V's on the labeled-pins, on this PS, or.. You can extract the pins from the molex on your-end, and simply 'match' the wires / pins up to the Pin-labels, and hard-solder / heat-shrink-boot them up, on this PS..

    ..Either way, should be able to at least 'get you to the starting-line'.. Obviously, we don't know, for certain, if there is 'deeper-damage', but.. I'd venture to say it's unlikely, looking at yer pix.. Looks like the 'fireworks' didn't get much-further than the 'entrance', there.. TBD, but.. I bet you'll be alright, once that Driver has a new-ticker..

    Lemme know the 'next move'..

    Not sure i need it as the driver needs a proper repair. It couldn't handle 24 volts on the 24 volt input for some reason
    Will send an email to NEOS and check if its worth a repair.

    And i can't use 110 volts equipment here without a transformer.

    What you you mean by 'handle it', did it give you more magic-smoke, or something? If it was simply 'unresponsive' / you could not measure any V deeper into it, don't forget the embedded-Diode connector-posts, coming into the Driver-core.. If one / more of those are blown, yer not gonna get too-far, regardless of 'who's PS' you hook-up to it / how new it is..

    ..Also, this PS is 90-240VAC, so....

    fwiw, ciao
