Failure mode: Ballistic
Added 2018-02-27 13:36:37 +0000 UTCGot the bipolar switching power supplies and didn't think about how much power I was putting into that poor resistor. I think it was rated for something like 10W ...

I've done that.. The resistor remained hidden for months

2018-02-28 23:50:28 +0000 UTCI don't see what the problem is .. I mean clearly you've managed to extract the wires that were in that aluminium enclosure just fine ?

2018-02-27 16:52:18 +0000 UTCI like it. Cleaned out that aluminum case quite easily.

2018-02-27 14:10:21 +0000 UTCMaybe the resistor was just faulty... try the other one too! ;)
