Thanks for this thread. My SB controller failed after a power outage and I feared it was the device itself. To test I used two loose wires connected to a 5V floodlight charger and sure enough the controller came back to life.
So I pried the rubber from the stand's bottom which exposes a large rectangular pull relief. I cut off the long end of the cable and then cut the pull relief mid way, being careful not to touch the cable inside it. Tearing off the cut section this exposes almost 2cm of shielded wire where the shield is earth and the wire is +5V. Doing a similar thing with an obsolete USB printer cable I had lying around, keeping around 7mm of its pull relief, I soldered the black and red wires (which are pretty thin compared to the oversized original wire) to the wires in the stand which I then isolated and stuck it into the space where the original pull relief had been, after which I glued back the rubber. So now I have a stand with a cable that has a standard USB-A connector that will plug into any phone charge adapter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115280 _______________________________________________ Duet mailing list Duet@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/duet
