Hi
I had a 2.0 set of Computer Speakers, that decided to die recently.
The AC Adapter is still working perfect tho.
It is a heavy (transformer based) Power Supply.
Its sticker says 12v 3A, and for years I was sure it is DC output..
But today when I measured it with with a Multimeter,
when the multimeter was on DC mode, the display showed 0v..
I thought it might be dead too, but then I decided to try to measure its output on AC mode,
and surprise, it says 14.4v..
So it is AC output apparently.
(the sticker on it does not mention AC or DC)
What can I do with it?
(and why did the speakers come with a 12v AC and not 12v DC Power Supply?)
Thank you
