    GRT60-145410 brick PSU, how much of a fire hazard is this thing exactly?

    I bought an Alpicool C20 fridge, which is a 60W compressor fridge that runs on 12V or 24V, which can come from either an AC/DC adapter from mains (240V here in UK) or a car battery. The fridge itself is really good quality, so I was surprised to find the power supply (DC14.5V, 4.1A) pretty questionable. Despite being 240V/1.5A the plug was fitted with a 13A fuse - concerning, but not all that uncommon for imported chinese electronics here. But when I felt how light the brick was I immediately said hell no and transferred the proprietary connector to a MeanWell GS90A12-P1M brick (this supply is held together with screws rather than glue and the molded cable from the original PS fit nicely in the MeanWell).

    Just curious as to this forum's assessment of how much of a fire hazard that original supply is? Pics attached.

      it would probably be o.k. if it was properly assembled.
      what's with the airgap between the final diode and the heatsink? !!!

          Help repair Panasonic fridge not cooling
          by mikey5791
          Hi all forum members,

          Few days ago, i might have forgotten to close my home fridge freezer door completely. The next day, the ice cubes and frozen meat almost melted halfway and the freezer doesn't feel cool. I shut it off, wipe dry and let it air dry for one whole day. The next day i switched on the fridge, the compressor run for a second and it shuts off(no vibration and no sound at all) only the internal freezer compartment fan is running but is not cooling even i switched on a full day.
          After shut off, i dismantle the rear water pan holder and reached to the compressor wiring....

          Liebherr Fridge Freezer KGT 3456 not working
          by CG2
          To be a bit more specific, I've got a 20-ish year old Liebherr that has just stopped working. This was quite a sophisticated beast for its time. It's a twin compressor model, and you set the desired temperatures of the fridge and freezer parts from a couple of little control panels above the door. It displays the actual temps on some eight segment displays there, flashing if it's working to get to where you want it. There's a control board with a microprocessor on it that read the temperature from a couple of sensors, switches the compressors on as necessary, and runs the display. There's also...

          Lenovo T14 Gen1 i7 10  nm-C931 (brick)
          by UADmytro
          Hey! I bought a Lenovo T14 Gen1 i7 10 nm-C931 (a brick). The previous owner said he got it on eBay as a password-locked device and took it to a repair service, where they tried flashing something. The result: it doesn't turn on.

          When I plug in the charger, the charging LED lights up, and the power button indicator blinks three times.

          I downloaded the firmware from the official website, but it's incomplete. However, there is a firmware for the embedded controller (MEC1663). I did a mass erase via OpenOCD, wiped MEC1663 along with the EEPROM, and flashed an image from the...

          JVC Fire TV or any other Android based firmware
          by jczarniak
          Hi,

          Is there available any Android Fire TV ROM backup ( Fire TV Firmware ) which I can download, save on USB stick and then load into the TV ?

          I have got JVC LT-50CF810 Fire TV with firmware not working properly.

          Thank you very much for any support.

          Regards.

          Fridge - Gram
          by tmcw
          Have this fridge, laboratory grade unit, not working fully.

          It's designed with a chilling unit at the top, on the inside, and a fan just below that. When the door is closed, the fan blows the cold air down through the fridge, and when the door opens, the fan switches off, presumably so that it doesn't blow all the cold air out.

          The fan isn't switching on, so in addition to not having uniform cold throughout the fridge, the chilling tubes tend to ice up. I took the lid off the top, electronics are in the lid, and when the door is opened and closed, I can hear the relevant...
