Question about Samsung SC-D23 Mini DV Digital Camcorder

1 Answer

What is the voltage, current, and polarity of the power supply for the SC-D23?

I bought a used Samsung SC-D23, no power supply. Although the power connector looks like it takes a strange rectangular connector, it appears that a standard barrel plug will fit it. However, I am unable to find any reference on the web or in the PDF manual that tells the voltage, current rating, or polarity of the plug. Could someone with one of these look at your power adapter and read these things from it? Thanks, Steve PS Yes, I know I can order a power supply from Samsung but I have loads of power supplies here. And I can't just buy a battery charger, since external power must be connected to use the Firewire port.

    But they want $60 for it! If I'm reading their website correctly (www.samsungparts.com), the adapter with square connector is $60. Is part number AD44-00065A? If so, I now know it's 8.4V at 1.5A. As long as my power supply is no more than about 8.4V, and at least 1.5A, it will work, but I still need to know the polarity.

    And they charge another $12 for the AC cord, it isn't even included.

    My plan is to fit a barrel connector to it, and epoxy onto the barrel connector to make it rectangular so it is less likely to shift and bend the center pin.

    I have switching power supplies from 3V to 24V. I am sure I can either find one that is 8.4V, or alter the voltage slightly on a 9V. I know not to use a non-switching supply, as the voltage varies to widely on them. A 9V transformer based adapter may go to 12V without a load, and under 6V under heavy load.

    Thanks,
    Steve

You should use the original Samsung supply since it is a switching power supply capable of supplying the needed current to operate the onboard charging circuit. Many customers have tried to go with generic supplies and it opens the inline chemical fuse due to the unit drawing heavy current during battery charging. Hope this helps.

What is the output voltage, amperage, watts and polarity for Schwinn 203 recumbent bike? I have a pile of transformers and don't know which one my mother-in-law used. Thanks for all replies.
If the recumbent digital computer gives you an option of power supply or batteries then you can deduce voltage of the power supply by counting the number of batteries needed times 1.5 (1.5 volts = voltage of AA or AAA battery).
You can deduce typical current by multiplying the number of batteries by: AA = .05 amps or AAA = .01 amps.
Your next issue will be to deduce the polarity. Look at the Schwinn to look for a symbol that will show you polarity. Typically the center of the plug is: + positive and the outer shell is - negative. There are instances where those two are reversed.
If this is all too confusing then Google the recumbent model number to find replacement power supplies ($35 to $45 US).

What is the power voltage for the x235 got display model dosent have a power lead
There should be information about that cast into the outside of the display housing, Charlie, or it may be printed in insanely small print on the serial number label. Most likely, though, it'll be cast into the housing near the power jack. It'll also indicate polarity, but it won't tell you which size the power plug needs to be.

If you can't find the voltage & current requirements anywhere but you CAN find the little polarity indicator, you could buy a "universal" power supply with switchable voltage and polarity. Start with the power supply set to the correct polarity and the LOWEST voltage. If it doesn't work, step up one notch and try again. Increase voltage ONLY until the unit functions, and NO higher. Tape over the voltage selector switch when you have it right.

The SC-D23 is one of the Samsung camcorders affected by a recent class action suit. There is a manufacturing defect in the CCD.

Contact them via the number here to see about getting it replaced:

Power supply for logitech driving force steering wheel
It's OK to use a power supply with a bigger current capacity than needed. If you find once with, say, 24V and 1.0A then that's usable - the wheel will draw as much as it needs.
Therefore:
Same voltage (24V)
Same or greater current (=>0.75A)
Same polarity (positive centre) __________________
Same as the Momo Racing Black, positive inside, negative outside.

The G25 power supply output is stronger: 24Vdc, 1.75A, same polarity.

As long as output voltage, polarity, amperes and connectors are the same you should be fine using a compatible unit, if you find one. In your case it would be 24V, 0.75A, positive inside, but if I were in you I'd wait for some American Driving Force owner to confirm this to be completely sure. The American psu model should however be GAD-SLU-240A8, 110V input, same PSU as Driving Force Pro. Take a look at this for more info. I received this from a forum with people that had the same issues as you and I hope this helps. It seems like they're saying that a store bought universal power supply may mess up your wheel so be careful. If this helps, please leave feed back. FIXYA!

If your camcorder was made beween 2002 and 2007 you may be able to get this repaired for free. Samsung even pays for the shipping.
