G50 massive humming issues and no longer powered by adapter

Hi all,

 

Had my G50 about a year and a half now, and no issues until today....

 

The receiver lived on my pedalboard, powered via the current doubler cable on outputs 5 and 6 of a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2 Plus. However, I moved a few things around, and ran out of outputs on the power brick, so wanted to use the adapter for the G50. When I plug it in, no lights come on. I've tried it with a couple of others, and no power. I then re-tried it via my old method (ie. current doubler cable), and it powers up but there's a VERY loud hum and buzz coming from it.

 

Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone experienced this before?

I would have that checked by service. Outputs 5 and 6 on the VooDoo Labs supply are AC meant for Line 6 DL4 etc. The G50 and most other Line 6 pedals run on DC. The regulator in the G50 might have been working pretty hard getting the DC it needed. It might be damaged at this point.
