LED Heated Mirror

[JeruTheDamaja]

Hi all,

I need some advice on replacing parts/repairing an LED heated mirror which is 9 years old. It also has an infrared sensor to flick on/off the lights.

A few months back I plugged into the shaver socket with a electric trimmer. It cut off the lights immediately and there's no power to the shaver socket, also the heating element not working as for this to work the lights also need to be on.

Changing bulbs obviously has no effect and the fuse has been changed. There is a slight hum from the components when the rocker switch is on, so assume there is power coming in, it's just likely one of the components has blown?

There is an electronic ballast, a transformer, and a sensor switch. I'm guessing it could be the transformer which needs replacing?

Would it be the transformer that is blown, or might I need to check the other components or replace any other components, or buy a new one!?

Thanks

9 years old.....Just get a new one

New ones are still fairly expensive so would look to repair first, if achievable...

Have you a multimeter, and do you know how to use it?

so what currently works?

The transformer is the least unlikely thing to have blown. More likely something in the electronic ballast.

I agree as OP states:

There is a slight hum from the components when the rocker switch is on, so assume there is power coming in,

and the transformer is the most likely item to hum
However goes on to say

and there's no power to the shaver socket,

Me thinks

Have you a multimeter, and do you know how to use it?

needs to be answered before we go any further.
EDIT Sorry TTC answered while I typed.
