Hi all!
Brought my 120v Bose back to the UK with me from USA. Initially, it had a problem with the 32Khz IR receiver so I took the control module apart and replaced it. No problem with that now as the system turns on and off with the remote and seems to respond to remote commands.
Problem is this; when I try and play something through it, I get no sound whatsoever. I have tried different sources to make sure something should be playing but still nothing. This is what's strange though, when I unplug the system from the power, it plays a little bit through the speakers while it's draining the capacitance out of the system!
The UK has 240v 60hz so I had to buy a power adapter which stepped it down to 120v/100w. I suspect the power adapter I have got is not suitable (picture attached). The power board inside the Bose has a 250v 2.5a Timed fuse in it if that helps. I have probed the transformer inside the Bose and see 118v at the primary and 22v at the secondary.
Any suggestions what I can try next?
