Yup! Troller's gone and I bet I can tell you what is wrong with yours. I hade a Troller that went belly up. It is most likely the Metal Oxide Semiconducter Field Effect Transistor Ha! Ha! (MOSFET) Without looking at it directly. I would lay odds on it! If I could look at it myself, I could fix it and I would back the 1 MOSFET up with 2 more in parrallel. 1 MOSFET will not handle a big load. It is most likely in a TO 220 case. Just get the numbers on it and triple them up.
