That happens when the 'NDub' option is turned on.
This is short for 'note overdub', and as you discovered, lets you 
over-write the notes and velocity in a pattern without changing the 
gates.
In record mode, press the page key to toggle to the second page and 
you'll see the NDub option there - turn it off and record will work 
as you'd expect.

P3 will take DC or AC, so I doubt the PSU is the problem.
What exactly does the display do ? And is it a PLED or LCD on that 
one ?
There is an internal trimmer for the display that adjusts contrast 
for LCD, or brightness for PLED - adjusting that may help, though 
you'll want to get an electronics savvy friend to help if you don't 
like opening things up.

> Do you have any spare adapters Colin?

I can't source US adaptors since I'm in the UK, sorry.
But I don't think that'll be the problem.

Cheers,
