To add in some small manner to what Bob Camp said: IIRC, the input is polarity protected by a diode or two. I think the input to the brick is floated; i.e. neither of the two power leads is connected to ground. The brick can be disassembled, if you're careful. The components, except for the transformers are pretty standard stuff. On one of my units, I had a blown cap and diode. It is SMT, though, so you'd need expertise in working with that. I find it hard to believe that the brick was blown, though. Have you verified that you're powering the correct pins?

The show up from time to time on the surplus market. The gotcha is that you may be able to buy a KS box for less than the asking price for the power brick. There are no schematics on these devices other than what some people have traced out here and there. The input to the power brick is simple enough that it’s probably worth simply tracing out on the board. That will involve pulling the board completely out of the chassis (which is a pain). Once it’s out, some quick ohm meter checks between the power inputs and the labeled pins on the power converter will give you a pretty good idea of what goes where. There *might* be a pc board mounted fuse on there somewhere …. Bob > On Feb 4, 2017, at 8:54 PM, Roland Wm Buzz Ude <b...@baylorhill.com> wrote: > > I,m brand new to this forum. I need your help.
