[SLUG] transformer

A friend gave me a router. When powered up, it comes on for a few seconds
(at first), then goes off. As you try repeatedly, the "on" time gets
shorter. If you wait some between tries, the "on" time gets longer. This
behavior makes me think something small is heating up. (The behavior is the
same with the router's case open AFAICT.)

He said that when he first got it, the transformer was noisy (buzzing?), but
there was a mixup with the receipt and they (the store?) would not honor the
warranty. We think the transformer's finally died. Anyhow, this is a
practically unused Linksys WRTP54G. Anyone know where I can get a 9V _AC_
1A power supply? Most of them out there are 9V _DC_. Cheap is good, in
case it's _not_ the transformer that's bad.
