Replacement Power for a 5.1 Speaker system [Unsolved]
Hey
i bought a second hand surround system for my pc of TradeMe (New Zealand Auction Website) and the guy selling it said there was something wrong with the sub speaker.
anyway i got it a few days ago and found that the insides had caught fire obviously from a power surge, i replaced the diodes that caught fire and a IC that cracked. but when i tried to power it up the Power transformer got really hot within 20 secs and started to smoke.... That's not a good sign...
i know for a fact that i did not cause this but the previous owner did maybe from trying to get the thing going.
My question is, i cannot find any transformers that output the same power as this one it takes 220~240v input and outputs 12v~0.9A and 10v~1A
i can find a transformer that outputs either 10v or a 12 easily but not both
What can i do? if you need pictures i'll be more than happy to supply them for you.
Thanks in advanced!!!
