Qhy9 adapter problem

I have a QHY9 colour camera with a QHYCCD adapter type DC-102.
During normal operation last night the TEC appeared to disconnect and could not be restored. The normal -15v,+15v +5v and Fan red leds on the Adapter remained alight but the TEC led was off. I turned the camera off and disconnected the DC-102. I then reconnected the camera and DC-102 following the safe connection procedure in the QHY9 User's Guide. All cables were checked as well as the 12volt supply to the Adapter - all appeared normal. The camera now works normally but without TEC cooling.
It looks like an internal failure in the DC-201 Adapter.
I have an old DC-101 adapter that I used with my previous QHY8 camera. Would this be compatible with the QHY9 camera?
Any suggestions?
Peter

Talk to Theo from Gama Electronics, he is likely to be able to help.

Thanks for your suggestions. I contacted Theo and he was very prompt and helpful in the possible supply of spare parts for my QHY9. However, with further testing I found that the problem was a faulty connection of the TEC cooling controller to its 12 volt power supply. I had made the mistake of having this connection permantly patched up for a prolonged period at my mount. A simple clean with electronic cleaning fluid fixed the problem - lesson learnt!
