2 prong asian style plug to 2 prong UK style plug |
|
|
Hi,
I bought a digital camera in Singapore recently and upon returning to the UK
I noticed that it had an Asian style 2 prong plug. Rather naively, I
snipped the plug off hoping I could just connect the wires to a 3 prong UK
plug. But I found the cables were not normal eclectic cables and were more
like shielded RCA leads.
Of course, I've now snipped the plug off, so a converter is out of the
question. Have I got any alternatives other than paying a fortune to the
manufacturer for a replacement UK plug and lead?
Cheers,
Steve

| The 'plug' you snipped off may well have been the whole power supply...! |

join the plug back on?
it seems strange that RCA style leads would be used used for mains power
is there a transformer inside the blug body?
if your camera still works take some photos of the damaged parts and pos
them in alt.binaries.electronics.schematics
