Hi all,
I've picked up an LCD TV off Ebay which was short of a PSU. I had a spare one hence why I took the plunge.
The TV needs a 12v dc input and the label on the back states 4.17A. The supply I have was 3.3A, so maybe the TV wasn't such a good buy...
But the manual I've found for it claims max power consumption is
40W.....which happens to match the max output of the 3.3A supply.The TV does work with the supply but the transformer does get quite warm to the touch.
Am I taking a gamble continuing to run the TV off a supply with a lesser ampage rating ? What would die first ? the telly or the transformer ? ......or if both items claim to be 40 watts max output/input then I am worrying over nothing ?? Thx
