Laser guns? Are you ok Andy? It's only an AC adaptor mate. lol.
If you're interested I was recently trying to sell a helium neon laser on
ebay. It comes with a built in power supply. No AC adaptor required. It
didn't sell, so if you're thinking of getting one, let me know. Only
trouble is it needs to be plugged into the mains, so not very portable.

Hi Ray.
What a nightmare.
You know, I've got adaptors with quarter inch jacks. Ones with usb type
fittings and ones with phono plug sockets and they all use different
amps.
Why do manufacturers all wish to design their own interface?
When I was keen on photography, I was concerned as the camera I used had
what was known as the K Mount for their lenses. Then another
manufacturer brought their own S type, and a third had a screw type. All
did the same job.
Just like the Bayonet or Screw fitting on a light bulb .
Then we came up against video and we had a similar choice VHF or Betamax.
Then we had and are still struggling with the CD and DVD format wars.
I wish manufacturers would simply get to gether and consider the needs of
the user's.
I like to call a spade a spade and to be honest, if I was to buy one at
Home-Base or B and Q or even these days, ASDA, I could use it out of the
box for it was a spade, and I know what and how to use a spade.
All these differing interfaces really make my life a misery, just because
they want to hold purchasers to purchase their appliances.
This theme will most probably follow me to my grave.
For example, if in 2020 I wanted to purchase a Laser Gun, poorly for
defensive purposes, will I need to also buy an adaptor for it, or will B
and Q have something that will do the job.
Beam me up Scottie!

Andy, don't go plugging any old power supply into the disk drive as that
could just do for it.
Cheers,
Ray.

Hi Andy
As a suggestion, could you ask Maplin Electronics if they would tell
you the voltage of your supply for the Maxter if you are stuck?

Hi Darren
Your right mate one button and it's on the front. I have been using
the drive the other way round so I could easily plug in the power
socket.
I don't know what the button is for and have never used it.
What I think I've done is lost the correct adapter for it. The one
that is connected may well be less powerful than the correct one.
cannot find another adaptor laying about though.
Are you able to read, or perhaps get a friend to read anything that
may be written on your adaptor. This will help me identify the
correct one for my drive.
I've got loads of them around the house, plugged in to various items,
so it's possible that I've got mixed up.
Best wishes.
Andy.

Hi Andy
Yes I have the maxtor one touch external hard drive as well, but I'm
a little confused, as you say there are two buttons on the rear of
the drive. However I cannot find any on mine. The only button I know
of is the one located on the front at the bottom.
If the drive is failing to start when you switch the power on, and
all cables are securely in place. Then I would suspect it has become
faulty.
Sorry I can't be more helpful
Darren.

Hi all.
Anyone got the Maxtor 1 Touch 750 GB External drive.
I need some assistance with mine as it no longer wants to boot. I
just discovered a couple of buttons on the back of the device today,
which I did not realize were there. Perhaps I've turned it off or
something, anyway, I've you have one of these I'd welcome some
advise from you please.
Best wishes.
