I hope to wake-up this old thread and find someone who can guide me a
bit.

The Raspberry Pi I have seems to be near its last days of living. Maybe
a bit early to conclude, but I get the yellow lightning bolt, and the
device reboots every now and then, seemlingly more and more often and I
can't seem to feed it enough power. I'm about ready to try a solid piece
of linear power supply. In fact I already have one, but it's made for
the Squeezebox Duet and with about 9 Volt of output. Is there a kind
soul in this forum, who has a bit of electronics skill and who could
help me exchange the transformer to convert it to 5 Volt output?

Here's a picture of the power supply (with 47.000 uF capacitors):

And for completeness here's the HTML page about the PSU:

>From the picture I gather this is a 229C16 transformer, and it looks
like it can be connected either to 115 Volt or 230 Volt depending on how
it's mounted on the PCB, and that each give about 8 Volt output. I have
no idea how this becomes 9 Volt. I don't know much about this, but
presumably the C16 means it's a C-core (?) and 16 = 2 * 8 Volt, and for
an equivalent 5 Volt output, I should look for something called 229C9
... ?

Best regards,
Claus
