I have these relatives who have a bunch of fiber optic Christmas
decorations, which have suddenly stopped working. The decorations said
to set the universal adaptor to something like 6 volts and the
relatives accidentally set them to 8 volts. Everything seemed to work
fine but then after a few minutes we noticed that the colors were
wrong. They're supposed to change from like blue to red to yellow to
orange to green to purple or something like that. But the orange,
yellow, and, red wouldn't work. I realized that it was set to the
wrong voltage and changed it to the correct setting. But the colors
still won't work. After a little while the whole thing stopped
working
Is it most likely that setting it to the wrong voltage
damaged these decorations? Is there anyway to repair them or would
that not even be worth it?
Fiber optic decorations damaged by high voltage? |

You may have burned out the electronics and maybe the LED's. You would be
cheaper off to replace the complete tree, or whatever it is.
Only use the original supply that is recommended for it. These are easily
damaged. Are these the old type with the rotating color wheel and the halogen lamp?
If so maybe you melted down the color wheel, either way you may as well
crack one open and see what's inside. |
