(...) My mistake. The RCX 1.0 has an AC adaptor jack which has a full-wave bridge rectifier to convert to DC and would provide AC protection. I guess RCX 2.0, without the external jack, does not have this. (17 years ago, 26-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi Patrick, (...) that looks like a somewhat large diode to me. In my own picture it is round and is marked with a diode symbol and "A2". (...) It shouldn't he hard to replace. But I doubt that it is the only thing that is damaged. It looks like it (...) (17 years ago, 26-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I applied 9V AC power to a RCX 2.0... yes yes, DC is required. Does anybody successfully repaired such a disaster ? Here are pictures pointing to what I think burned out. What is that component ? Anybody successfully replaced it ? (URL) have (...) (17 years ago, 24-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
