Well I got home from work today and my wife could not switch on her MDD and the UPS it was connected to was making a not to clever whistling noise. I thought, the battery must have gone in the ups. I unplugged the MDD then replugged to be met by what can only be described as an explosion including the full shooting flames, thick belching smoke and the smell of rotting vegtables (that wasn't me either)! Wow! The PSU of this totally unmodified MDD had just decided it had, had enough. I haven't looked inside yet to see what gave up but I am sure it will not be a pretty site. The bad news is, I have had to give my wife my favorite MDD

See Below:

So I am in the market for a new MDD PSU. If anyone sees a reasonable one please let me know.

You have to pay the shipping cost from Belgium plus a friendly price. I have checked with the Post site, it is 26 euro up to 5 kilos. Tell me you reasonable price and I will be happy to send you my PSU.
