Power adapter issue on Telus TV Box


I have a couple of Telus TV Android boxes. One of them stopped working, just won't turn on. After googling I found the issue was likely the power cable. I tested it by swapping it for the power adapter on our other box and it works. 
Saw a reddit post that said you can arrange to have a new power adapter mailed out. Looking for help, please let me know.

    My power adapter just failed on my wireless 4k optik digital box. Can anyone recommend a replacement unit on Amazon that would be compatible?

      Please read THIS whole thread for the answer which I have posted. I am not going to re type.

  • In the past week my digital box Telus TV 21T has been problematic after 10 months of use. They are sending me a whole new box. Any alternative adapters one could stock up on?

    That should definately not happen for sure mtwohig​ you should send the telus tv box back through one of the postal outlets and then ask for a new one.

      Nothing wrong with the box, it is the power supply. If you put a multimeter on it it will read 11.5~ and not 12V and does not produce enough amps.

      Yes have Telus send you another power cord and/or order one from amazon for $15. The amazon one has not failed since January when I reported this.

      Let us know which one arrives first.

        Can you share the amazon one you found to work?

        I have 3 of the boxes and the first one now has this issue. I suspect the other 2 will also develop this issue over time.
