eBay and dodgy traders or suppliers - UPDATE !!!

As posted after complaining to eBay I got a full PayPal refund within two hours and a message from the trader that there was no need to return the faulty power supply.
Happy to report and I think it's a fair and just outcome after all the hassle that I have been able to repair the faulty power supply that arrived DOA.

Just finished replacing the faulty bits with new components I got from Jaycar this morning.- about $10 bucks. It's working...yay.

Testing with a 12V LED stick that is pulling 390mA. Have to quit now cos there are other jobs on the list, back later to have another play.

Stay tuned ..

eBay and dodgy traders or suppliers.

Purchased this 30V/10A bench power supply AKA lab power supply for Al's Workshop R&D stuff. Unit arrived DOA so asked for replacement or refund.

After days of getting the runaround lodged a complaint with eBay and within couple of hours got a full PayPal refund.

LED string lights delivered

Arrived today and I'm thinking of using them instead of the regular fairy LED's for silhouette lighting.

Took ages to arrive from Australia?

Up to now while waiting for this to arrive, I have been using a standard string of LED's powered by a 2 cell battery pack with simple ON-OFF - see last picture.
