Hi,
I have been having problems with my Dreamcast
(that I use to surf the 'net) resetting randomly.
After checking out the power lines, it seems
that the stepdown convertor is at fault. It
has a crack and 2 bulging bits (where the
plastic has been molded with lumps instead of
flat) on the underside.
How dangerous is this if it is the cause of
the problem?
It converts a 240V input to a 110V output (not
been able to check the exact specs on it, as
it's in use and very hot), as my Dreamcast I
am using is a Japanese model (my UK model
isn't fully functioning).
Reply to me directly if you believe it isn't of
interest to the other listmembers.
I have just been on eBay to get a replacement.
Regards,
Andrew B
