Hi chirpa
Yes, I bought a replacement 12v 5A generic from Amazon which seems to work just fine.
It is a Channel Well Technology CAD060121 if anyone is interested and has an earth pin kettle socket and a straight connector which suits the Duo.
All of the files were still on the drive that I kept so it all turned out well in the end.
I reformatted the second drive but will now put it back in the Duo and restore the mirror.
Hoping to check out the Netgear PSU with my AVO in work tomorrow to see which parameter is defunct.
Not sure of the age of my Duo and I have done the 80mm fan modification so I didn't want to try and claim a PSU on warranty.
Thanks for the interest
