power supply

[alliv]

well got it open had to prize it apart and yes the soldered fuse had blown, quite hard to get apart there glued, think the best bet when reasembling it would be to tape the outer black housing back up with electrical tape (for future blown fuses!) see enclosed pic i know its crap but so is my camera. fuse is on the left near the black power in block. hope this helps, they realy do look cheaply made!

would you not think of getting a cheap cloned camera from china?
no realy thanks. now i,m sorry i gave the m8 the psu as i would have had a go myself. is the fuse a normal fuse or is it easy to buy?

[yamar1]

just looks like a normal glass fuse 15mm long only thing is it has a leg on either side to solder it into the board, its rated at 300v 2amps, surely can get them someware, or could solder some legs onto a normal fuse. easy fix realy, id take a photo of it but you know what my cameras like,,, photography was never my strong point!

[alliv]

well got a call of the m8, he said its burned out inside [~~~~ed] so now the question is where can i get one quick and cheap? anyone point me to one that deffo works?

Im waiting on my dm600 pvr coming from China...dont think I will take a chance on their power supply unit, do you think it would a standard fitment if there is such a thing?

its a 5mm plug (the end which goes into the box) i think there a standard size and as long as its the correct rating you will be ok. the one iv found should be fine. its like the one im using.

Hi guys, I have went through 3 power supplies in about 7 months, peng and seiko have changed them in the past but I am fed up with sending it back.

I am going to bite the bullet and buy a quality power supply.

Do maplins sell the correct one? or can someone point me to the correct one on fleabay?

Thanks very much as I am not clued up with power supplies and don't want to get the wrong one.

[mcg1888]

Got mine died yesterday
Now using 12v 1.7A from external usb dvb-s2 device

[lonari]

no need to go for 3A. 2A is aplenty and probably cheaper.
