Do these have a replacable fuse of some description in them? I have two yoyos, one well used one which I have had since about 2004 when i found out about the Lombard brick adapter recall (also apparantly a fire hazard) and had sent free by Apple, and one that I bought as a replacement for my spare adapter from my old 1400, which just inexplicably blew up one night. Anyway, the older one appears to get power still somehow as i can hear interference in the speakers of the Pismo when i wiggle it, and it sparks in the power point when I plug it in with the switch on, it used to drop in and out until one day it just woulkdnt charge so I'm gonna assume its stuffed... I'd expect it to be as it went everywhere i went for years. The other one however is stone dead, doesnt create any noise in the speakers, no sparking as the pins make contact in the wall socket, no heat, no nothing.... it's as if it has a completely open circuit , and it failed at a time when there was an issue with power surging and spiking at my work, which makes me think a spike simply blew a fusible link or something. It shouldnt be however, as its almost brand new and was rarely used and never moved around. it basically sat on my bedside table and got switched on to charge the Pismo at night sometimes... itd be lucky to have seen a years worth of sporadic use at a stretch, so it shouldnt burn out of its own accord. I swapped wall cords to rule out a broken wire and it made no difference.
Ive got an aftermarket generic one coming so i can finally run my Pismo and Lombard again, but I like the yoyo and if its a simple fix, Id like to perform it... Any ideas?
