The details are given here https://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Hardware_comparison The barrel connector has an internal diameters (ID), external diameter (OD) and a minimum length.
Barrel / Sleeve Connector: 2.5mm ID, 5.5mm OD, 11mm long Min - it is a very common size. > The LED of the unit I declared dead is still functioning. Maybe the > cable is gone? Not sure which cable you are talking about. If the SPDIF LED is working you will see a glow through the gaps in the doors of the socket. A PSU can still be faulty even if the SPDIF LED is working. > I might try Aussie Ebay. Is the P/N number on the Squeezebox relevant > for the power adapter like e.g. 830-000012? You can buy generic PSU which supply either a single 5V or ones where 5V is one of multiple voltages and have adaptors for many barrel sizes. I'd avoid the ones with multiple voltages as there is a chance the voltage switch will be changed and fry the SB player. I'd try a local electronic shops which sells replace PSU (aka wall warts, powerbricks) for devices. Show the old one to compare barrel size and check the rating on the offered unit. A USB power supply will supply 5V and there are adaptor cables which go from USB to the barrel connector but generally USB PSUs doesn't supply enough amps - so I'd avoid that solution if offered. Amazon, Ebay, Aliexpress - you should be able to find a compatible PSU readily - the choice will be shipping times. As Touch PSU is compatible, you can search for something like "Squeezebox Touch Power 5V " or "Squeezebox SB3 5V 2A" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116077 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
