Here's a questionfor macroman, or any other electronic wiz here... what would you do if a certain pesky member of your family would go and do such a stupid thing as switch the voltage on the power supply to 110V while it's plugged into the wall??? you would probably notice the loud bang and that the power supply is busted... whatwould you do if the power supply was non standard, and the only place where you could buy a replacement for it was some junk store that wants a rip-off price which is more than you paid for the whole case in the first place... You probably wouldn't bother replacing the power supply and just buy a new case... what if there was an easy way to fix it???? does anybody know??? i don't mind, because in any case i have two of these cases, so i'm planning on modding the one without a power supply, and if it turns out good, i'll move the power over to the modded one...
Couple of links covering that sort of thing, Power Supply Repair PDF File 580kb Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ Notes on the Troubleshooting and Repair of Small Switchmode Power Supplies The second one has plenty of info on safety aspects. There's usually a fuse inside so check that first. If you get round to soldering, you could always by-pass the voltage-change switch
Thats odd.... Mine is set to 110 and i havent had a problem... (ok sorry i had. yea i know about the differences between USA and rest of the world )
