Got a faulty power supply, which makes my Android TV box turn on and off constantly.
I've got one of these, where you can adjust the amount of Volts, but will it work with the box?
Don't want to test it, without being certain, in case the box is fried.
The faulty power supply says 5V, but the other one I've got gives the option of 4.5V or 6V.
And what about the mA?

I've bought a few of these kind of adaptors for guitar pedals and many have been poor quality but I've had success with this company:

I've not been through their amazon shop but they may well sell the exact one you are looking for and chances are if you email they they will even look for you.
The box is not for me (setting it up for wifey's old man) and would be good if he can catch the All Blacks Sunday morning here in NZ vs France.
You could always buy one then take it back on Monday and say that it didn't work and order a cheaper one online in the meantime.
Before I did any of that though I think I'd be tempted to try the box in another socket and on another TV. I have no idea if that will help but it's easy to do and might save yourself some effort.
Are you sure that it's the power supply and not the box itself?
I've got another Android box and I've used the power supply from this box. The new Android box worked with no issues, so it can only be the power supply.
Does teh socket look right on this
Only problem is that I need it urgently and also that I need it with an Aussie plug.
Turned out it wasn't actually faulty...it just had the wrong sticker on.
It was in fact a 12V power supply and not 5V, as the sticker suggested.
