houston we have a problem.
this is the first electronic component that has failed for me. And that too it has come a costly tag.
can some expert answer.
the device has 5v * 3 amp voltage supply limit. cant the device survive if you supply higher voltage with lesser current?
because the first one can survive 15 w. so as long as you do not supply greater than stated wattage it should be fine?
IN my case I had a 9v, 0.5 amp adapter. assuming that it cant supply more than 0.5 amp( wall adapter. it is perfectly in functioning order), i supplied only 4.5 watts when the device can handle 15 watts.
last time, i checked in electronics. just voltage alone does not make any sense. it is voltage and amp combo which should make sense.
I mean they cant exist one without other right?
the item in question was DLPLIGHTCRAFTER2000. everybody tells me that it has gone burst because i supplied voltage higher than the rated one without looking in to the amp part. A product should not fail if its supplied wattage is less than stated wattage!
and let us not talk about folks not caring to put voltage protection( when items like arduino which cost 15 bucks have regulators)
I am not worried about failure of the product. I need to acquire proper knowledge.
any expert around here who has dealt with this? i shudder to think it is a rookie mistake as other 100 items did not punk on me.
my thinking is failure might have other causes( some current surge than above stated reason)
