The supply with those cases has the transformer directly on the supply board. So you would need to replace the whole supply with a 230v model, change the fuse value and the label on the back so no chance of someone putting the wrong voltage through if you sell the case in the fut

The led decay is normal, your 6u simply has more load so they decay faster. Glad you're not worrying any more On 7 Jul 2013, at 20:37, "isoldeandisobelle" wrote: > > Thank you very much to you both for your help. > > I earlier removed a module from the 6U case and put my ear has

I think all coil based voltage transformers will emit noise. It is often due the coils attracting and repelling one another at each voltage cycle change. Winding them tightly helps initially but the coils lengthen as they age and they loosen up. Varnish helps delay the loosening
