Hi there, does anyone knows what changed in version 2 of the HDplex 400W AC/DC?
I just burned it... twice... so I need to order a replacement!!
I managed to burn it after relocating my S4M. After connecting everything back (usb, screens etc) I only had to connect the GX16-3 connector and forgot to unplug it from the wall socket first... although Ive done this before and never had any issues. So most likely while matching the connector whole a hot pin touched the ground pin and immediately burned it, smoked and melted the pin away and even burned my power connector cable...
Anyway, I soldered a new GX16-3 connector in the mini and made a new power cable. While powering up for testing it happened again, even a bigger flame got out end even melted some metal of the AC/DC. Smelly!!!
That said, I'm not taking any risk to try it again with this unit, so a replacement it is. I opened it and all I could see was some smoke marks on the inside of the casing but no burn marks on the components.
Also while doing so today I kinda lost my trust in the GX16-3 connectors and would like to find out what 3pin connector fits the S4m and HDplex, as it's a very tight fit, especially with the fan mounted on it. Once soldered it's such a tight fit to put the AC/DC in that the solder breaks on the GX16-3 connector, even with heat-shrink on them and bended in a suitable direction etc.
So anyhow, suggestion are welcome! Thanks
