Shouldn’t be doing two things at the same time..,

Post by olivier.jan »

Bummer, I had a look tonight at an old Compaq PSU to check if it was working.
I shouldn’t have after working most of the day on 3D CAD models involving a lot of measurements.
If someone can spot what went wrong when I plugged it…. :headbang:
