[sdiy] Converting a DC adapter to AC only...?

[Paul Perry]

Despite the moves to make them compulsory, I have banned them in my house.
Not just because one failed and melted either.

I certainly wouldn't advise anyone to open up a switchmode supply & try to
do anything with it.
Unless they have a deathwish.
