Like when I get a Tektronix 485 (scope), a masterpiece of workmanship and clever ideas like - the virtually indestructible = fail-safe switching PS. Yes, it Will 'save itself' via crowbarring softly when load exceeds spec But..

It 'chirps'! = repeated restarts/shutdowns when any one of Several parallel loads is gollywampus {sigh} One Potato(e for some Pols) at a Time. SO then you look for the old electrolytic cap whose ESR has gone sky high.. somewhere in there. There's gotta be a better way to find The One, and if I were clever enough..

(Like.. why? didn't they just put some LEDs dynamically sensing current OL, so they'd flash in the Right place.. what could it have cost?)

Now with el-cheapo \ufffd-dreck - ya just trash that $7 puppy which powers the $500 processor + MB yada yada. Hmmm maybe Excellent isn't always about quality alone, but R&R.. but I digress.
