I wonder whether the adapter you are using is putting out
a good, solid 7.5 volts when it's "loaded"?
From: Charlie H.
Thanks for the info Charlie. When I measured the output, no load, it was
over 50 volts as far as I could tell. The needle bounced when set to 10V
dc so I switched the settting to read 50+ and the needle went a couple
of volts higher than 0. I have a digital meter somewhere, but the
somewhere is the problem. If the voltage is as high as I think it is
then I'm surprised that the main unit isn't fried. Is there a regulator
inside it to stop too much power from getting in?
As I said, when I hooked up the multiple lead adapter to it, set to
7.5V, the screen came alive. The adapter is the kind one would use for a
radio or keyboard, variable voltage and head polarity and certainly not
2A I don't think. The other Mac transformer I have is from a 230 duo but
the voltage is a lot higher so no use there. I have several other
transformers that I will take a look at, never actually thought that one
might work. Thanks for the tip!
