kendrick member Registered: 09/12/2003 Posts: 150	My empeg boots up when I have it plugged into the car deck, but when i plug AC adaptor power in the house it does not work? Anywhere I can get a replacement adaptor? Does radioshack sell one?

I had a 12V 1A unit from them that would cause the display to cut out when the hard drive spun-up. It's also needlessly bulky. _________________________ -Rob Riccardelli 80GB 16MB MK2 090000736

gmarsh new poster Registered: 29/04/2005 Posts: 18 Loc: NS, Canada	mine went intermittent - occasionally I'd whack it off my desk and it would start working again, but I got sick of that. I'm now using an AC adapter from a HP Omnibook laptop, found at a Value Village store. If you can't find one at a thrift shop, i'd grab something like a Cincon TR15 - http://www.mouser.com/catalog/622/1399.pdf - $13 and it's far better than anything you'd find at rat shack.
