Successfully sourced a new power supply for our 3rd generation after the last one was destroyed ironically by Apple juice. Sourced from China and replaced- presto!! It's working- all for $14.95
Where? I need on badly! Can you send me / Post here a link?
Hi, i have a 3rd gen Apple TV and I have problems with it, it doesn't turn on I don't now if it's the power supply or it is &&^&@@ up how can I figure out if it is the power supply and in that case where can I found one
I Olson have a Apple TV box an older version how can I test if it is working
In case the LED light does not glow even after restoring by remote or iTune then problem is with SMPS unit. Get a new SMPS unit and replace it yourself !
Where can we buy the Power supply?
search for OT9031 from ACBEL POLYTECH or 614-0482 from Apple.

I got a power supply for around 13 AUD from luckily a ebay seller from china. The swap out is very easy on this gen 3 version. Would be good if anyone has info on the 8 pin output voltages and a schematic of it so in future everyone could diagnose properly if in deed a power supply failure with a multimeter. I took a cheap gamble and it worked.
where so i find a new base to replace it with
