Hi.
So I have another noise source since this morning in my audio. I had this PS (12v-19V converter) for 1 month, it was poorly wired for few weeks, so I rewired it last night and realized that the PS start BOILING - it was so hot that I could touch it- I was going to attach an huge external heat sink today but I was too late as it probably fried over night.... (All i did was provide proper connection for two wires, nothing else... so my question is:
should i change the FET's that are heating like crazy right now for ones with better amp rating? (this thing came straigh from hong kong so quality is .... well you know) and what will you guys recommend the ones that are in there are:
IRF244N
two of MBR20100CT
K2996- not sure what is it , package looks like a cross between TO220 and TO247 so im not sure its an FET...
OR maybe I can build one myself with some good components that wont crap out - I need 3.7amp at 18V minimum (laptop will work with 18-20V)...
My 12V DC source is a computer PS (there was no noise from it before so it cannot be the source from it)
Please help because this is VERY annoying right now... ;/
