That's not a good way to start out the New Years!

Sadly, 110v devices connected to 220v mains usually don't have many surviving electrical components inside. The transformer will couple twice the voltage on its secondaries until it opens up. Even then, when the transformer fails it is usually the primary side that opens first leaving the magnetic field to collapse into the secondaries. The overvoltage and terminating spike is usually enough to take out everything downstream.
