Need to replace POWER SUPPLY (European) for Nord Drum 3P

Post by MisterRadio »

Hello,
I am writing here cause I've run into a problem with the power supply of my Nord Drum 3P,
the "dongle like" design of the modular power supply has proven faulty and one of the two prongs of the European power supply attachment has broken,
I was very surprised as it has never fell or been under any stress that I know of.

I can't seem to find anywhere to order the replacement part, or any info on compatible power supplies.

I would greatly appreciate any tips if any of you have run into the same problem,

Cheers from Belgium :) and thanks for reading
Elias

According to the text on the front panel (checked an image from Thomann), it operates on 12V DC, and consumes 500mA max, centre pin positive. Any power supply with the right size connector, correct voltage, correct pin polarity, and at least 500mA output should work.

EDIT: I'm not a Nord technician, all the basic precautions apply. But I have a decent understanding of electronics and a power supply that fills these requirements has always resulted in a working device for me.

Hi MisterAudio,

I've used other power supplies without any problem, the original doesn't even have a Nord sticker or logo, just make sure it has the above mentioned specifications (as printed on the 3p unit)

Cheers,
Albert
