Sony AC-L15A repair

WARING - Mains operated switch mode power supply - Contains mains and higher voltages.  Capacitors can remain charged after power is removed.

SONY Camcorder Charger AC-L15A &  AC L200D and DC-V515


The L200D was dead.
The L15A DC output lead was broken near the charger.
The DC-V515 was operational but it's output connector (3 pin) was not required.

The plan was
1.  Cut off the lead from the L200 (Large plug) and cut the V5151 DC cable and join them.
2. Open the dead L15A and retrieve it's lead along with the retention grommet / strain relief.
3. Open the L200D and replace it's lead and grommet with the one retrived from the deal L15A.

And it all worked.  Along with fixing a LANC Zoom focus controller where the lead was broken at the point it exited the case.

The V515 has 3 wires (see photo below).  I left the blue wire open circuit.  It measured 8.3V.  I assume it is used to tell the charger that the thing at the end is something - camera? battery charger?
