Lilliput Power Polarity?

**aleromaster** · 09-09-2004, 06:28 PM

Can someone help me out? I have to hook up my Lilliput but I cant remember which polarity the tip it on the power connector that plugs into the back of the lilliput. It used to be hardwired to my carpc's power supply but when I was redoining it I removed everything. I fried my egg originaly because I acidently reversed the polarity. I found a nice adapter that regulates the power to 12.3V with the engine running and it only drops to 11.6V with engine off. I just need to make sure I atach the connector on the end right so I don't Fry my lilliput. By the way I did

. Thanks in advance to whoever can help me.

Same as everyone else said. But test with a voltmeter to be sure. If you don't own one, its a great $10 walmart investment. Go get one!

I have a $300 meter. Only problem is I have already hacked up the AC adapter for another prodject and all I have left is the cable that came out of the car adapter egg. I wish I could test something with a meter But I have nothing to test, which is the reason I asked. Btw I just realized this could sound rude but its not meant to be. Thanks
