TDK Boombox Ac Adaptor Issue?

[stedaley]

Had my TDK boombox for around two years without problem,
Howeve i tried turning it on today and no power seems to be coming through the Ac ADaptor, its a 18V 1600mA switching mode power supply made my TDK and GPE.
Now is it the AC Adaptor or the boombox? and where or what oculd i do to fix the adapter?

If you cannot measure any output from the power supply then the only way to be sure that this is the problem is to connect the boombox to another compatible power supply. You already know the output voltage and current but you also need to know if the output is ac or dc. If it doesn't say then look for two parallel lines. If they are both flat then dc if one is curved then ac.
Just google for it. Usually cheaper to replace than fix. You can also try Radio Shack but you will pay more.

well ive figured out it is the Adaptor,

tried another lower mA and V and the speakers come on but with no sound, im guessing not enough power the drive the speakers.

However i cant find the right spec one for the speakers,
18V 1600mAmps if any one can help me find one in the Uk that would be great.
