150ma is not nearly enough to power the UA5, it wants minimum of 500ma...  If it powers up, but doesn't have phantom, it's a power issue.

Try the UA5 wall-wart.  If it doesn't work with that, I'd have to say something is blown...

Yup, that's the problem.  Wait until you get your li-ion battery, try again, and let us know the results.  And remember:  while most devices take (+) tip, (-) ring, and most batteries are wired the same way, the UA5 is opposite and takes (-) tip, (+) ring.

class 2 power supple
input: ac 120v 80Hz 6.5W
output: 9VAC 150mA

using AC instead of a DC wallwart power prolly didn't help much.  wont know if it's jacked til he finds a proper PS.  as brian said above def make sure TIP NEGATIVE!!!!

The UA-5 has reverse voltage protection diodes in its power supply input path, so the AC is not likely to have caused any damage.  It just won't work with AC.

very nice to know!!
