we purchased a massage chair from china , shipped to my home . my sister -guided by the label on the
chair - plugged it in 220v AC but the chair did not work, plugging it in 110v AC did not work either.
being the home electronic "pro" ( lolz i don't know any real **** about electronics) i was asked to look
into it.i decided that it will be a good learning tool ( lolz) .
upon opening the chair i found that the ac/dv transformer was labeled "110v" so i thought that plugging
it into 220v broke it. i found the fuse to be burned.
replacing the fuse did not help. chicking the dc output of the transformer i found that it is faulty.
the tranformer is labeled as such:
110v AC input
20v DC output 1 amp
12v DC output 3.5 amp
yes it has 2 output plugs. so i decided that i will buy another one. but searching the local market i
only found 220v AC input , 24v DC output.220v AC input is nice for out area ,but 24V will not do any
good.
my solution is : just use voltage devidor to convert 24 volt to 20. and use the same idea to convert 24
volt to 12. job done.
right or wrong ?
will the cost of resistors be acceptable ?
