AC/DC Transformer Repair Needed

Aug 18, 2006 3 Replies

I'm a student that inherited a Cobalt Qube 2 (server appliance) that I run linux on and use it to store MP3s and test PHP code. Unfortunately, I've determined the power brick has died. I cracked open the brick and was able to was able to measure the correct VAC and Amp for the input but the output end was completely dead. The output should be 12VDC, 3.3A. In reality, I'd just buy a replacement but it has a 3-pin round plug into the appliance and since the device was EOLed ~5 years ago, I can't seem to find a replacement. Does anyone know an individual or company that could repair this and approximately how much it would cost?



Thanks for any help!

Cisco must have a bot working to post a reply that fast!?

Depending on the pinout for the power supply you could just cut the end off and wire it indto a standard AT or ATX computer supply. I'm sure that would be much cheaper than paying cisco to fix it.

If it only requires 12vdc like you said it shouldn't be a problem using a standard psu or even a standard 12v power brick that is big enough.
