Bought one of those MP3087 supplies this afternoon (dual version of the supply in #30). Yeah, I know, I could probably shop around for better, but I had the money on me for once today, near a store (I HATE waiting for delivery), and I've desperately been needing something a step up from my various home made boxes.
Well, the magic smoke released before I could even see what the screen looked like powered up. Seriously, the very instant it was powered up I smelled/heard the unmistakeable smell/sound of an electrolytic dying painfully. Back to Jaycar in the morning for a replacement or refund. I'm so tempted to take a look inside but I'm not about to void the warranty on something I've owned less than 3 hours. I'll see if they mind popping the cover when I'm in there though haha, I'm very curious. I'm not a doctor nor a psychic, but for some reason based on the sounds/smell/general vibe I kind of suspected a reversed cap.
Goddammit.
