- No, no laughter from here, just a fervent wish that the re-fused supply has
- *never* had its output plug anywhere near your 1200, else it also is
- probably very well done if not toasted/burnt. However, just to make sure
- the supply isn't doing all sorts of oddball things because it needs a load,
- stick something like aa auto stoplight lamp between the 5 volts and ground.
- If thats the case, and it appears to work with that load, it might be safe
- to hook it back up to the 1200 for further tests. The bulb won't get very
- bright as most of them are for 12 volts...
-
- I take it that supply was one for 240 volt mains?
