Hello all,

Last weekend I plugged in the (original RioCar) adapter into my Empeg... nothing.
When I measured the voltage: nothing. Then I removed the adapter from the mains and (removed from the mains) I touched the pins resulting into a big electrical shock (capacitor?).

With my eyes closed I connected the empeg onto another power supply and it booted... thank god!

My question:
What can make such simple adapter blow? It was connected into my power-block which includes surge-protection (my PC is also on it). Its still on guarantee, but for the adapter only I'm not gonna make use of it.

Cheers,
EiSl
