Well that was impressive LOL! (see pics). Connected a 48v input to the DPS5015 and a capacitor can hit the ceiling Yes, the polarity was correct - at least according to the silk screen on the PCBs - so need to look a bit closer at that. I'll put a new cap in DSP5015 and see if there's any life left in the thing, and this time check what the Chinese '48v PSU' is really putting out before connecting it...
Looks like the vent did its job well there then.
Yep - what are those 3 crimps for again?

Did you buy it from BANGgood or BangGood?
OK, I replaced the cap on the DPS5015 and it still doesn't work. Looks like it's toast. Checked the '48v' mains PSU board and - it puts out 105v DC
Re-check the listing (Ebay
) and confirmed it was described as 220-240v input, but suspect it is actually 110v input (no markings on the board though). Filed a claim against seller but that doesn't get me my DPS5015 back... So I should have checked the output first I guess, never trust these Chinese suppliers...
Crumbs, thats not good, I'd try for a new DPS5015 as well from them, it was after all their mistake that caused it.
I thought all those were all relatively (<60V) DC input devices i.e. buck converters?
I took my MyDel power supply to bits. Seems relatively well put together.

I doubt I'll have much success there, but you're right. The product in question was this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/800W-50V-LLC-Soft-Switching-Power-Supply-high-quality-HIFI-amp-PSU-board-DIY/192325585960?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
Clearly described as suitable for UK voltages. Actually, it started to crackle while I was testing and I had to unplug it quick - only to be expected if it was a 110v circuit with 240v stuffed up its jackson..
Hmm, check the markings on your unit, the one they used to photograph actually shows a 70V output anyway, personally when I purchase something like that, especially when the documentation and product labelling is so poor, I test them open circuit first to see if they are doing what they claimed.
Looking at the exploded one, it looks like there is no common mode choke, rectifier or protection on the front end and is marked IN+ and IN-. I reckon that was a DC unit they shipped.
Edit: ignore my stupidity above, I only just saw the other supply in the box
REFUND and fluff clearance charge due

I'll take another look - if I can remember which wall I threw it at
So I was looking for a replacement DSP5015 and spotted this listing on Amazon (pic). I added it to my basket with some other stuff and indeed got charged £3.99 for it. Winner
It's coming from Amazon themselves rather than 3rd party supplier so must be real?

The photos posted are of the power supply module that the other one was supplying power to and is indeed looking for around 48VDC to be supplied, not 105VDC

Ahhhahahahahaha maybe not. Amazon are totally dire at the moment in this space. I got sent used stuff, empty boxes and they mix their fulfilment up with 3rd parties now if the SKU is the same. Aliexpress is far more reputable. Bezos didn't get rich doing a good job, just buy pushing the profit margin up. Ferengi scum.

Ah yes, my poor photography.. whole thing looks like this (out the box)
And there is another buck convertor board to go in as well, took a while to find one suitable for 48V>12V just to supply the fans (200mA) but I got one. Just as well that wasn't connected.
That makes sense. Bit disappointing. Looked like a nice set up
Fingers crossed for a refund for you here.

Is it me or what but this one seems to be a 60Vdc input as indicated in the bottom right corner of the unit?

Always thought that when it was out of stock, it still showed up and but showed zero stocks etc?

You're right, it is ticked 63v, and there is an empty 48v box above it...
There are no jumpers to set the output. The input caps on the 5015 are rated 65v so, although at max v, would not have immediately exploded like it did.

I think I would, you inadvertently stuffed 105VDC up it, I think you'd explode if I did to you

I think it does mostly, maybe this was a clearance item or something. I do reckon they screwed up on the pricing and it should have been 39.99 but hey - the order went through and I doubt the storeman/automated machine will argue so let's see if it turns up
