Where to find replacement power supply for Harman Kardon Soundsticks II?

Hi there,

Sorry if this post isn't appropriate for this forum, but I couldn't find one specifically for my issue. I have a pair of Soundsticks that are a couple of years old (i.e. out of warranty), whose power brick suddenly decided not to work. (I know it's the brick that's at fault, as I used one from a second set of Soundsticks, at which point everything worked fine.) So the question is how do I find a replacement? I checked the Harman Kardon site, but it's showing this item as not available. Any other ideas?

TIA

You might want to try the Harman Kardon site again... (ref: http://www.harmanaudio.com/search_browse/partlist.asp?Parts=SOUNDSTICKSII&BrandI d=HK&MarketId=HOM)

I don't quite follow. The part still shows up as being "not available".

I was hoping that there might be a third-party supplier as well, but I'll try and contact Harman Kardon support if not.

I just tried a quick look on Google, but nothing was jumping out at me to be of any more help to you...but maybe a more throughout look might.

Another thought. If the current power brick provides a DC output. You can try going to your local electronics store to see if have any AC/DC converters in the proper DC output voltage required. That's of course that the Soundsticks use DC power and the coverter has the right plug that fits.

After finding no other sources, I rang up Harman Kardon and was told that the power supply will be in stock again next month. Not that encouraging, but I don't see any alternatives.
