OH I need to state that-
I think it sticking on and failing was MY fault-cause when I decided to switch to the 5v wall thing, (cause I needed the 4.5 for something else), I hooked it up wrong at first-the 5v one, it has to be pos to pos, and I had forgotten that little detail:blush:-so it maybe caused a prob inside the unit, cause it stuck on right after I rewired it on right.

Let's see here: You hacked a power supply onto a PT after cutting the plug off of it. Then you miswired it, reversed the polarity, feeding positive voltage through the ground pin on the FET. Now you're surprised that it's fried, and blaming the device for the failure? Good work if you can get it - but in my world, we laugh and call that a "1D-10T ERROR".

A USB port is a regulated 5vDC, so feeding it 5vDC is not a problem. Reversing the polarity into a semiconductor most certainly is, though.

I think if you read my post again u will see that I am NOT blaming the device.

Sorry - my mistake. When I read:


Also it stuck on and burnt a carto-must have gotten juice in there?

I just assumed you were attributing the failure to having gotten juice in there and it getting stuck on; there-by burning a carto.

Obviously my own poor comprehension lead to my assuming the above since there wasn't really anything in your post that should lead one to believe that you were blaming juice getting in there and sticking the switch instead of reversing the polarity being the culprit. ;)
