in which teh guy describes palpable-destruction of his Tee Vee's "500 ma-MAX" internal P.S.?
Eh? And with symptoms of just what a valiant 4X-Over-drawn small PS would likely do ... before repetition bricked-it.
(I'm no candidate for obv. reasons, but also appreciate the insanely-great/compact specs of this teensy dongle.)
But it seems that the supplier--unwilling to PAY for direct consequences of its use--is ALSO "looking for a "2 AMPERE" Solution to Their Problem
(and the customer's.) At very least Mfg. should state: *MUST* be used with included PS; NOT suitable for Std. 500 mA USB design.
Who is WRONG here?
Did you put an ammeter in-series and TEST? Jeez, yer a bloody-EE: you take some sales-flack's WORD about a product?
(If the teensy case is touted as a 'heat sink', sure SOUNDS like >500 mA happening inside.)
What am I missing in this tale?
My Faith: there are NO Mysteries in "E=IR"--only in people who have no clue are there 'mysteries".
Carrion.
