Does > "stepdown" refer to the frequency or just to the reduction of voltage? So you think you have a problem with the "power supply". What are the numbers on the power supply (input/output voltage/power rating...)
Have you measured the output voltage of the power supply ? If the plug is a common one you should find a compareable supply very easy. Normaly I would try as replacement some kind of "generic" DC power supply. That kind of stepdown transformers are rather uncommon in the area where I live. Usually the device has a fitting power supply for Europe. BTW: How can any static transformer change the frequency ? And yes in the USA they use typically 60Hz, and in Europe we have most of the time 50Hz. Except some weird things like the railway system, that has in Austria, 16,6Hz (I know better ideas), and Italy where they use DC. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
