My A4 power adaptor has packed up, as indeed have my batteries:-(

Can anyone help with a replacement? The unit seems to be sealed in a
way that makes repair implausible, but perhaps I am wrong.

I think I saw an adaptor for sale on the cybervillage noticeboard last week.

Good luck!

Robert

There's also one on either eBay or Yahoo! auctions.

The power adaptor can be opened and repaired, but they're a pig to do.
There should be someone in the UK who could repair it.
The battery pack can be opened also and replace nicads fitted.

We have new A4 Power adaptors in stock.
We can also repack the batteries (using cells with 20% more capacity)!

n.b. We have One A4 battery without its retaining clip (The bit that is
spring loaded) if anyone has one spare, we can find it a good home:-)
