working in my studio today when i heard a strange hiss which then became really loud and was followed by a lot of smoke from the back of my a100. ran over and switched off the power and dragged it out of the room leaving a trail of extremely acrid smoke behind me thats still there over 2 hours later. yuck. opened up the unit outside to find that the inside of the transformer (the part that the plug goes into and that the on/off switch is connected to. not the power board) had melted. there was a small puddle of brown liquid on the inside which was a pain to clean off. anyways. unit still works thankfully but not too keen to run it until i replace the part. has anyone else encountered this? it had only been on for 4 hours, it should be able to handle this shouldnt it? its a bit of a worry as i have quite a big studio and was nearly gonna break for tea. 10 minutes later and ive have been in the other room and then who knows what could have happened. fire fire fire. its also running from its own outlet. no blown fuses etc. where can i get a replacement from. anyone got any ideas etc for me. thanks, neil
