Thanks.
I am in the market for a new PSW inverter
My Wagan Elite 400 watt PSW blew its internal fuses a few months ago, and when i replaced them it could not handle much over 300 watts.
Now when I turn it on I get the whining sound it makes when i would previously turn it off.
Not sure I want to try replacing any possible failed components. I had Noticed rust on some transistor legs a few years ago when I opened it up to clean and lube the fan.
For powering the laptop, i use a PWR+ DC to DC converter and this consistently used 8 to 12 walls less than the Wagan powering the original power brick.
Only issue has been its Ciggy plug and the DC cord carrying 19.5v required replacing, twice.
