FYI, I decided to have a look at the power supply that was causing the old "no remote control" issue on my touch.
Photos attached. I removed the DC output lead and fitted to another 5v power supply that I had lying around. Once that was done and tested, I decided to check out the failed power supply. No signs of overheating etc....but There are 3 electrolytic caps on the output; 2 x 1000 uf @ 10V and 1 x 470uf @ 10V All 3 exhibit the old "swollen end" tell tale of failure. I removed them from the board and tested with my cap tester. Sure enough, all 3 have failed. So this will be causing excessive ripple / noise on the output voltage which appears to be at just the right frequency to swamp the IR diode and circuit, causing the issue experienced. Not sure if I can get the little plastic case back together, but would be easy enough to reconstruct in a little jiffy box. $2 in parts and it will be up and running again :) +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: IMG_2077.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=31793| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leinster-lad's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=45943 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103192 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
