So I double checked the AC voltage output on this TI
wall wart for the
Silent 700 model 703 and it definitely has no voltage (and correction on
my meter settings: it has 200VAC and 600VAC).
Next step is to crack it open. Anyone know a good way
to open up these
permanently sealed transformers?
I've used two techniques successfully. The first involves a rubber/plastic
mallet and possibly also a blunt wedge to hammer into the seam. The other
technique involves squeezing the housing in a padded vice at odd angles. I
tend to use the vice when the seam on the case has an overlap.
