digitech rp355 power supply broken :/

[BeR3Tt4]

This morning, finally, my digitech rp355 arrived from america. ordered off ebay.
i open packaging,=D, so happy...then i plug in the power supply through an adapter so it will fit(because the american plug thing dont fit in singapore things) then after i plug it in after bout 20 seconds, i heard a crack noise, then i smelt something funny. i continue and plug the end of the power supplies wire into my rp355, but nothing, no power. there is no 'on' button or anything on the rp355, so i supposed that it would power on when connected. then i realised the smell and noise must have came from the power supply.

if anyone is experienced with this kind of problem, please help

US household voltage rating-120Vac

Singaland household voltage rating- 230Vac

when you plug an adapter mean for US into our local electrical outlet, thats feeding close to double the amount of voltage which the adaptor is meant for. The only outcome, is as per your adaptor, internal parts overheat and basically going in to "self destruct" mode..

anyway, hopefully its only the adaptor thats fried and didnt cause any issue with the effect internally.

the important info in the list of things that you wrote are

INPUT: 120V ~ 60Hz
OUTPUT1: 9V ~ 1.3A

but if you can , post a picture of the adaptor. The important part be on whether the output is AC or DC. The curvy logo indicate AC. But to make sure, post the picture.

It will be easier if the output is 9v dc 1.3A, coz you can use a one spot to power up the thing.

If its 9v AC for the output, one choice you have, is to get a generic universal regulated AC power supply thats 230vAC on the input side and 9vAC on the ooutput side and with current rating above 1.3ampere

oops, i mean a pic of the back of the adaptor with the specification.

Now the thing that need to be clear is whether the output is AC or DC.

If the output is 9v and the sign beside it is ~, then its 9vac

If the sign beside the output 9v is this, __ , then its 9dc .

Ah ok, then its AC.

thanks for ur help mate
