Yes, as stated above, this is such a great forum. Thanks to dpotts (above) for the lead to a replacement power supply. I am thinking that the nomenclature, PSM11R-050, is the key to getting the correct power supply. In my case, the ‘replacement’ power supply had a barrel connector. After

For years I've had my dead Duet controller just laying waiting to be thrown away, and then I stumbled on this thread. So I took a chance, cut the old PSU away, spliced a USB cable on, and connected a USB charger, and now it seems to work again! It shows what is playing, and it charges! I am so

I cut and spliced the cable, as you say, anywhere outside the base. Two wires, soldered, shrink wrap over each solder joint and larger shrink over the two shrinks. I'll look around and see which controller I fixed and if I find it, I'll post a picture, although, not allot to see. One thing, my

When you guys are 'splicing to the cradle', are you opening up the bottom of the bottom or are you cutting the wire(s) an inch or two outside the cradle? Just trying to figure out if I'm up to this. :) A picture would be excellent! Thanks. 'PGAScores'

I think I've got a similar problem with a dead/dying adapter. I've got 2 controllers and chargers, 1 charger works with both controllers, the 2nd measures 5V, but just won't charge - it has a similar flash/power-on/power-off cycle on the controller. I'll look to find a similar replacement
