Setting up for a LONG night here in PERFECT QLD (for a change). All aligned, and I can smell the distinct smell of hot wires. I knew it would be the power pack.

Picked it up, and the cord in was HOT. The MOMENT I touched the cord, it arced, flashed bright red - white, and disintegrated! Burnt my hand, but thank GOD for the safety pack on the house!

Cord is completely in 2 pieces - it blew the whole house naturally. Scorch mark on hand.

Needless to say, the retailer get's an email in a second. Paid decent money for this AC adapter, and it does that!

Stay safe people! There's wonky Chinese quality stuff everywhere, and if I didn't have a safety pack, that could well have done a hell of a lot more - like making me the circuit between the 2 wires halves!!! I'll do some photos later - got the mount running off my battery pack now, and tonight is too good to waste! It's even cool outside.
