Failing power supply, or more serious than that??? - 25/08/2004 17:40
The empeg is working fine in the car. However, the last couple of times I've tried to plug it in indoors, the empeg doesn't power up, I get a rapid, constant clicking noise coming from my speakers and also from the small box located a couple of inches down the power lead from the input jack. I looked in the FAQ but couldn't see anything that covers this - anybody familiar with this one? It doesn't happen every time, which makes it hard to figure out! Is it safe to continue plugging in the empeg?

By "small box", do you mean the power supply itself, or do you mean the tiny plastic box that holds the ferrite cylinders that wrap around the power supply wire? I've only seen the tiny box thing on some power supplies.
I find it hard to imagine that the ferrite beads would be clicking... But anyway it's likely you have a bad power supply and need to
get a new one.

Any power supply that meets the requirements listed will work. There are others at those linked companies, have a browse.

As far as I know, you can still buy the Sunpower PSUs direct from the company.
