wrong power supply

moved house and lost the joggler power supply, so was using one from a virgin telly box... worked a treat it did.

subsequently found the original power supply and asked the OH to pass it to me at the end of a long day. she handed me a linksys router power supply which i plugged in without batting an eyelid... the joggler screen lit up for about 2 seconds and promptly died. the smell was quite something.

so, the question is, can the joggler be resurrected?

Oh dear - time to replace your Joggler and the OH :-)

If you're lucky it will have just burnt out an internal fuse but if you smelled burning it has probably gone beyond that. You'll need to disassemble it & have a look inside.

Ooh, dear. Sounds bad. But, get it open and take some pics. Perhaps we can offer some advice.

That's good thinking. With any luck you could just swap the screens - an easy job to do.
