230V at 50Hz

240V shouldn't be a problem if the device isn't really old (new stuff is often build for 200-250V, to make sellable in more countries).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

You will be able to smell the answer ....... :-P

The other way of finding out would be to open it and check how it generates it's
internal voltage (probraly 12V).

The US has 110V (at 60Hz).
