Hey folks,
I am trying to learn about electronics mucking around, pulling things apart playing with arduino - a bit of everything.
When a DVD player died I thought "Aha, a cheap DC power supply", but what I have found is that it seems to put out brief (.1 sec?) bursts of power every .5 second or so rather than a continuous supply.
Why would they do something like that in a DVD player?
Thanks in advance.
