No power for Sony ICFCD855V Dream Machine.

Power supply seems to be 12 volts. I have ICFCD855V's and the power cords on both broke just past the strain relief on the power supply. That shorted the supply and blew the fuse (1.6 amp). I soldered in a new fuse and the supply (with no load) puts out 12VDC. Since it happened to 2 in my house I can't believe Sony doesn't have a recall on these things

Yup, another SONY POS. Had the same problem the transformer is way too large and heavy so the power cord broke right at the strain relief, got twisted and shorted. Of course SONY used these propritary trangular screws so you can't salvage the power supply. Had a Sony camcorder which went bad you would not believe the nonsense I went through to tey to get it fixed. Forget SONY. Just have to train my family members to avoid their products. If I have the time I would try Kalvinb's method
