MOMO Force Back Wheel

Still having problems, since I didn't get a power supply with it. Someone gave me so info that it takes a 24V .75A power supply. Is this AC or DC? THe back of the wheel says DC. I went to Radio Shack and got one (24V AC 1000mA), but it's AC and doesn't light up the lights on the wheel. From what I know of working on boats, theres a difference in AC and DC I ordered one from Logitech, but their back ordered.................. Any ideas, I have force feed back enabled under options for Nascar 2003. My time is almost up to return the wheel to Circurit City. I really do like the feel of the wheel, just would like FFB, since I paid for it. Thanks -- Bill D Pensacola, FL

Do NOT use an AC adapter on a DC wheel. (Or any other DC electronic equipment for that matter) If it hasn't got any protection against reverse polarity (ie diodes) inside the wheel, there is a good chance you could cause irrepairable damage to the wheel and/or the power supply (which would not be covered by the manufacturers guarantee). -- Ian P <email invalid due to spammers>

Huh? you didn't get a power supply with it? and you purchased it from circuit city? Why the heck didn't you return it the second you opened it up? "Bill Driscoll" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
