Sure, someone is going to get unlucky, but it would seem to me that 'problematic hardware' has bitten more than a few of us. There are 3 others with what would appear to be the same problem since you posted the quote that a 'handful' had already been returned. 'We are looking into either stress testing the internal power supply or upgrading it with something more robust.' That comment suggests to me a design fault, poor quality components, and/or that the power supply is operating right on the edge of the envelope. Statistically, the number of people who have seen this issue is growing and it would seem to me that it has already grown past the point of a couple of people being 'unlucky'. I'm sorry, but having waited for the UK distrib and dealers to receive stock and fill orders, whilst watching others who had not pre-ordered have their order delivered whilst I waited, it only compounds my frustration to receive a unit with a 'faulty' power supply that could/would/should have been avoided if the unit had undergone a decent soak test. Perhaps Sean would care to comment on the failing power supply issue? -- JackOfAll ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29777 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
