Hi all, Please be patient as I am a novice, I recently bought a plasma disc which is designed to operate on 2 x AA batteries, I really would like to run it from a plug in power supply, so I attached it to a PSU with 5V, 500mA USB output, it runs great for a few minutes, but then starts to fade and the PSU overheats. The plasma disc runs for hours on a 5V battery pack and is drawing around 250mA.
Any ideas as too what is happening and how to solve the problem would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a link to the plasma disc if it's any help, perhaps someone has done this in the past.
