@jukesie ALL the pictures should come with something for scale. I once had to drink child-size Coke for a week because you can’t tell the difference between it and the normal-size multipack from the Ocado picture :D

@ghostfinder Ahh, I see. That’s annoying. Yes, if it were me I’d probably rewire a UK adapter using the wire and DC plug that came with the original, but I have some expertise and a soldering iron.

@ghostfinder (Having read the reviews, though, you probably don’t want that exact one!)

@ghostfinder …something like this would probably cope with it. You’ll need to know (a) what output current the original provides, and (b) the polarity of the plug, e.g. if the centre bit is positive or negative. Both are typically written in tiny writing on original. amazon.co.uk/ZOZOTMUniversa…

@ghostfinder What’s it look like? (Also, there are decent after-market power adapters that come with a range of different plug sizes that will fit pretty much anything. You just have to make sure that they’re beefy enough to do the same job as the one you’re replacing.)
