They're going to ---- if I trade this in. I used a small black anodized heatsink and a pair of tiny tantalum caps on the I/O That sucker will catch fire before that regulator can fail. The @#$%^&! circuit board had neither a fuse nor fusible circuit trace link. Two grand for that piece of @#$%^&! (?) Someone is HOSING the medical system meaning the taxpayer. The inline 12 volt brick is capable of 7.12 amperes at 12.16 volts. The 78xx hates one thing....input above 30 volts. ZERO TVS and ZERO low voltage MOVs on the power input. The meaning of the latter is CAUTION IF YOU CONNECT DIRECT TO A 12 VOLT RV BATTERY SOURCE. Without question DISCONNECT/UNPLUG A CPAP or BiPAP before starting an engine or generator. The BORG has a gigantic circuit board of caps TVSs and MOVs. I'll bet inside that pricey medical P I mean Brick there aren't any either. Pancho Villa Rides!
Meanwhile it's subtitled movies and mono music. I have an audio test Monday. I bet I end up with a six hundred dollar mastoid transducer with $1.59 parts inside and batteries that last three hours.
