    System dead - ATP3 - Altec Lansing Computer Speak System with subwoofer

    Model: ATP3

    Issue: The system doesn't respond. As in ... totally dead.

    The sound of the system was great for my use, so I'll try to fix it.

    There's no visual indication of problems on the components. No smells or sound either.

    I've measured the transformer and apparently there's a broken primary coil in the transformer. ( Resistance above 1990 khms. )

    Do you agree, it's broken?
    How do I go about buying a new one?

    I'm sorry for not getting the photo link in the first post. Don't know what happened.



    The sticker label says:

    TEN PAO Model no.:TG51219F0
    Input: AC 230V/50Hz
    Output: AC 12.5V/2.5A

    So I guess I'll be getting one of those.

      some said that if you need to change, consider a good toroidal transformer as a replacement.

      and i think there is multiple voltage on the transformer iirc

          The purpose of this post is to test if either I'm a fool for forgetting the image or there's something wrong with my image link...

          Edit: ok, that didn't work, so my links are broken.. trying again.
          That's better.

              Make sure you check the amp and power supply diodes for shorts. Those transformers typically have thermal fuses for UL (or equivalent NRTL in your country) listing.

              Don't put a transformer in there w/o a thermal fuse unless you really know what you're doing! The amp PCB may or may not have fuses, need pix to determine this.

              Another thing that commonly opens thermal fuses in those transformers is overvoltage on the AC line, such as when the local 416Y/240V network looses the neutral somewhere before the transformer, putting more than the nominal 240V into your service. Light bulbs get really bright.

                Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore
