Hi all,
Though I have a bench supply at my university I could do with one for my home uses.
Use: I need the supply to be able to find shorted components on a laptop motherboard via heat generation/freeze spray method.
I have a spare Dell PA-10 (which I can't use on its own as the overcurrent will trip it), I was thinking maybe attach it to a DC-DC buck converter like an LM2596:

This site seems to suggest it can handle a short across the output, but is this likely to be feasible for generating heat through a short for a brief period of time?
Thanks!
