I always pay close attention to all my legacy equipment because it's
getting a little harder to find items that were not abused.
I also have an after market unit made by a company called "HI CAPACITY
power products" part # AC-35 60 watt for my 190s. They are a good
quality product so if I needed one for my Pismo I would check them out
for availability. However there is no reason you can't repair the
brick as long as it's not fried.:-)
All the comments so far is that the bricks were recalled and I must not
use. But mine have worked well until this peeling that cuts, I believe,
the negative wire. Anyone here who has opened these things and can offer
some help. You can't see a single screw on them, so help would be great.
Thanks guys!
First take the sticker off along one of the long sides. One half of the
case snaps into the other. I can't tell you which side is which so
you'll have to figure that out yourself. Try pressing in one side then
the other to see which has some give. When separate a little bit of
them then start working your way along the whole way. It's not too
hard. It helps if you have a spudger, a tool you can stick into the gap
and pry them apart.
I have fixed them before. In one case the plug was bad but I had a
cable from a dead Duo power supply which I grafted on to the end of the
cable giving me a power supply with a very long DC cable. In a more
recent case the plug was again bad and I couldn't fix it so it's on the
shelf until a power supply goes bad again.
