Do you have a fuse in the plug as we do in the UK? Get the meter out and measure the mains supply coming in, follow the cables until you get to the power supply. If you are not familiar with this sort of thing you should really call someone in to fix it or get a new one since they can cost more to fix than to replace. --=20 Faster, cheaper, quieter than HS2 and built in 5 years; UKUltraspeed --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
