desperanceContinuing the theme of dead electrickal things, my radio is dead this morning. This is the radio that whispers to me all night long, and influences my dreaming. I need this.
Knowing that it had been fine all night long, I examined it quite closely, and lo: there is a break in the power cable. It is a pathetically thin power cable and easy to break, and it was in a tangle with all the other power cables, just where Mac had been pouncing on his Best Toy Ever, which is a bit of string. QED.
Mac's fine, thanks. All unelectrocuted.
But. I can't just see if the plug's blown a fuse, because it's a sealed plug. And I can't just replace the cable, because it's sealed into the radio. I can't actually see what I can do, except cut the cable off above the break, fit a regular plug to what remains and see if it still works. Grump...
(It is actually still under guarantee, but I suspect it's not guaranteed against cat-pouncings on its stupid bloody power cable...)
