Hi folks, Well I woke up the other morning at 2am to find all the power off in the house. I was about to ring the power company and thought I'd better check my meter box. Turns out one of the RCDs had tripped. I reset it and all was fine.
What puzzled me was what tripped it. It took out my workshop, speaking clock, various GPSDOs and an HP rubidium I've borrowed. However all was working upon reset. Today I downloaded Lady Heather and went to test it and noticed the should-be-running Thunderbolt was cold. I checked the voltages from the power supply and - nothing. Ignoring the life-or-death dire warnings on the power supply case I opened it. It had *that* smell. You know the smell of that special smoke that keeps all electronic components working because when it's released they stop. R1 is black and charred. Can anyone tell me what value R1 is and/or where I might get a new power supply (just in case it took other components with it)? Has anyone else had this problem?
