working in my studio today when i heard a strange hiss which then
became really loud and was followed by a lot of smoke from the back
of my a100.
ran over and switched off the power and dragged it out of the room
leaving a trail of extremely acrid smoke behind me thats still there
over 2 hours later. yuck.
opened up the unit outside to find that the inside of the
transformer (the part that the plug goes into and that the on/off
switch is connected to. not the power board) had melted. there was a
small puddle of brown liquid on the inside which was a pain to clean
off.
anyways. unit still works thankfully but not too keen to run it
until i replace the part.
has anyone else encountered this
it had only been on for 4 hours, it should be able to handle this
shouldnt it
its a bit of a worry as i have quite a big studio and was nearly
gonna break for tea. 10 minutes later and ive have been in the other
room and then who knows what could have happened. fire fire fire.

its also running from its own outlet. no blown fuses etc.
where can i get a replacement from. anyone got any ideas etc for me.

thanks, neil
