Have this IKEA cabinet with LEDs on the front. As can be seen, the wires frayed and shorted out right where the door moves the cable. Any ideas on how to fix this given the short is SO close to the device? Any leads on IKEA replacement parts?
We just bought a Storjorm cabinet and I'm wondering if anyone has tried replacing the lights. I'm going to attempt it but was hoping for tips before I start.
I was just wondering if this was safe. This unit is supposed to be hardwired into the wall. It has the usual green, black, and white wires. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10250084/ We are, ahem, I mean she is using it as a makeup vanity. So I found a work around, but it involves cutting open a existing 3 pronged cord (I used a computer one, if that matters) and just using a twist on. This allows me to plug it into a wall. Here is sort of what I was thinking. https://www.familyhandyman.com/electrical/repair/extension-cord-repair/view-all#step1
Is this effectively what's going on when you hardwire it? Is it safe? Sorry for all the facepalms I've caused. And thank you for your time.
I've searched and found some similar questions about this, but they seem to have a different power supply than this one. I can't seem to find an exact match, but ive found similar items. I just don't know enough about LEDs to know what's important.
This seems to be a common failure, and it asks me that IKEA refuses to sell just the power supply and LEDs, and wants me to buy a whole new mirror instead because the lights stopped working after 6 years.
It says constant current, i think that's important. I think the input side is not critical. I believe the 600mA DC is important as is not exceeding 24V on the output.
Ive found this on Amazon
And this on ebay.
Would either of these work, or am I looking for the wrong thing?
Appreciate your help!
Call me the worst google-r in the world (seriously, do if you find some information that I couldn't locate) but I really am interested in getting this mirror for a vanity set up but I can't find a single damn review about it.

eh?
UK based Redditor here… Does anyone know whether this mirror can be plugged into a normal outlet/socket? Or how this mirror actually works? Because the reviews are very confusing on the app.
