voltage steady at 11.98v

however these are notorious for failing causing back lights to go out and sound remaining, it seems that even the slightest dip turns the lamps off, is it the 4 pin one or the the single

[mav101]

can u clarify 4 pin ? power supply is like laptop power supply it has 5 mm socket and plug center + positive outside - negative voltage steady at 11.98 v

thanks

[tv tony]
