I think I need a new power adaptor

Post by Plan7 »

When I press the on button the power doesn't seem to turn in. Instead I need to twist the power adaptor cord around until it works. Sometime even when I twist the cord around it still won't work unless I put pressure on part on the cord. Im guessing that this problem will be solved if I get a new power adaptor but do have to get the boss brc 120t power adaptor that comes with the unit or could I get something like this

Has anyone tried something like this?

I've found that in my experience using universal power supplies can work, but it can also be risky. A lot of times when you buy third party adapters they end up being janky (they will get hot or hum). A good universal PSU can do the trick, but they end up being about $30. I find it's always easier to buy original pSU if possible, it saves time, stress and possibly a fried machine. Just buy the boss one and be done with it :)

normaly, it is just right to see how many MA the boss 505 adapter needs (and the volts, right)...this should works with any universal adapters...i don't have mine under my eyes right no, sorry

Well, a 606 ac adapter can power a 303 and the 303's can power a 606. It might be possible if you know what I'm thinking.
