As a lot of you may know, best buy sells mostly the dynex brand everything at extremely high prices, something as simple as a dynex 120mm fan (a yate loon, 70cfm,) is $13.99. Now they have Dynex hi-def tv's. I was looking at this thing, it was next to a nice LG. What a piece of crap, I think there was a reason they didn't have it playing a video, and all the others were. It was a 27" widescreen, ok, but the finish on it was not a smooth piano finish, or had good colors. It was dark grey, and felt like sandpaper. The whole thing was the same color, the screen was the same way, sandpaper-y. The seams were not even, most of them didn't really line up, and the two main plastic halfs (the front facia and the rear cover,) clipped together, and half of them were apart. No screws on this thing. Maybe some of the other dynex's are better, but this one was far from impressive.

Re: Best buy's newest dynex crap
Dynex -IS- Best Buy.
Dynex is Best Buy's OEM label.
No telling who actually built it.
Most of it is cheap Chinese junk they ordered with a Dynex label attached.

Re: Best buy's newest dynex crap
I've only heard crap about Dynex, and probably that's what it is, but I have a Dynex PSU in my own rig, another one in my son's rig, and another as a MB tester, and so far, none of them have caused any trouble. Never crossed my mind to open one to see what's inside, but they are stable so far (and my rig is almost always on). I also have a Dynex USB modem that I carry around for when I have to download something and there's no hi-speed Inet access available. Even in the van, I have a Dynex inverter to power some gadgets I have in the car. Not a single item has failed on me yet. But I haven't seen a Dynex TV so far.

Re: Best buy's newest dynex crap
The Dynex PSU's are built by Huntkey unless they are Rocketfish version.
Or at least they used to be.
I dunno who OEM's Rocketfish for them.
From what I recall (reading) the caps are just okay [teapo? capxon?] and ripple wasn't too bad but the IC's don't live up to full load on label for any length of time. Almost, but not quite. Better than most other 'gutless wonders' at least. Hardware Secrets did a review and blew two up and he was all over them for being crap [made a video like he'd discovered gold or had an orgasm or something] but if you pay attention they blew with 2 or 3 rails over the rated amps and with 5v+3.3v watts over the rated value. Not what I'd call a legit test.
~ Prolly okay for a while as long as your system's max load is at least 50+ watts less than the label's claimed ratings and you don't max out any rails.

Re: Best buy's newest dynex crap
the rocketfish 700 my business partner has was oem'd by huntkey too.
it had leaking fcon's in it.its ok after a recap.
the dynex 500's we got a big bunch of as defective returns were huntkey with bad fcon again.
remember that dynex/rocketfish are just store brands of bestbuy and next week they may be made by someone else.the lowest bidder!Comment

Re: Best buy's newest dynex crap
Yeah PC I saw that explosion on that site too.
Sure maybe it wasn't legit but something feels good about seeing another one of these cheap PSUs being put of it's misery though

Re: Best buy's newest dynex crap
Either way that dynex/suckerfish crap is rated at under whats on the label and its 2x the price. The Chinamart PS I get are rated at 500+ watts too but they seem to hold up better despite it most likely being a lie, oh yea and they are like $20 shipped, not $70 or whatever worst buy charges.Comment

Re: Best buy's newest dynex crap
Well, if a P4 3.0 with two SATA harddrives, a SATA burner, one and sometimes two IDEs (200 & 300gb), 3 internal 120mm fans with 4 blue leds each, an 80mm fan on its side, again with leds, plus a external USB 2.5" 60gb HDD powered from the USB port, a card reader, USB Powered speakers, usb powered wireless module for KB/Mouse, the chargers of my ic502 and my Jornada 540, and a 2 AA battery charger ALL ATTACHED on the front USB, a PCIx Video card,USB WebCam, USB scanner, and I don't remember what else is attached to it, turned on 24/7 almost year round either transcoding video, downloading stuff, or sending video to a store in Mexico, don't put a stress on the PSU (not to mention that sometimes I overclock this thing up to 3.75GHz from the stock 3.0 ... now running only at 3.24GHz) rated at 400w, then I don't know what will.
I'm not defending the whole brand, just saying that on this specific model, I am using one full time and other part time, with no problems so far.
It was a temp measure a year ago that I got the first one, but I liked it. $16 shipped to my front door.
And I remember seeing FCons inside. Will open the one in my bench to take some pics of it.There are 10 kind of people in this world: those that understand binary, and those who don't.- ASUS ROG Maximus IX Code

I have been having issues with this garage door opener for a while first the range of the remote was a lot less and sometimes it would start to go down and stop for no reason that I could find and would every once in awhile to start with then it started going more frequently until last Saturday when I opened the garage door it refused to close so I cranked up force all the way maximum limit this did not work also the sensor on one side that has a green and red lights that are supposed to be on when the door is open and there are no obstacles in the way on the original board the only light that...

If I remember correctly this indicates a battery failure the other day I had to turn off the power going down the driveway to do something and forgot to turn it back on and the battery went dead but it charged back up and I thought everything was okay but apparently not because now it refuses to close and the battery power light and the line power light goes off when you give it a request to do something I have had so many devices that the battery have gone bad I am sick of it...

So I got the bright idea to remove the LED light module from the fixture and put it on top of another enclosure and keep using the zapper
The removal of light module was a successful and now I just have to cut a hole in the enclosure and put a power cord that has an on and off switch on it
You are lucky to get about two years of service out of one before the LED module starts flicking and just stops working because it is mounted on an aluminum plate and these are hard to solder on it and it is not worth messing around with them and especially this one because it has line... -
I am trying to fix my Dynex tv. The PSB is new and so is the Control Board, but when I turn it on, I get "please wait..." on screen, then it quickly goes black. I have the back of it off and checking voltages shows 5v standby and 2.5v supply comes on going away/into PSB/Control Board, 24v is present on PSB (getting .4v on most, if not all, backlight lines, 5v to backlight is there also), the control board's heatsink staying hot to the touch, plus the 2.5v going away/into the PSB/Control Board, gives me the impression it is on. What else should I check for? -
I got lucky that when I got home and was about to get some ice out of the ice dispenser I hear and see water running down the outside of the ice dispenser what the heck is going on here
At first I thought that the ice dispenser mold was cracked so I brought a new ice maker because this one has been in there for about 10 years now
Well I put the new one in and wait and I wait for the water valve to open and let water in no such luck well there is a way to check the function of the motor and the water valve on this ice maker just need a jumper wire “L” to...
