Default AC Adapter questions...

"Col.Phorbin" writes:

Hello,
I have this fiber optic christmas tree and it is missing the AC
adapter. The tree requires a 12 volt 2 amp AC adapter. I have a 12
volt 1.2 AMP AC adapter from a mini TV that fits and powers up the fan
and light but it doesn't seem to power the little motor that turns the
color wheel. The motor for the color wheel requires 12 volts and 1.5
amps. So I am wondering if there is some way I can adjust the
amperage of the adapter to 1.5 so the color wheel will turn. Any
suggestions? Thanks.


Yes, replace it with the properly rated adapter, or get a second adapter
to power only the motor. You can't "adjust" an AC adapter.
