I have one of these:
http://i.ebayimg.com/t/30V-5A-110V-...x2/$(KGrHqJ,!lgFELCCQ8rgBRKI)2eD2g~~60_57.JPG
The other day my basement smelled distinctly "melty" and after hunting around for a it I noticed a very thin stream of smoke coming from the fan vents (not a big obvious black cloud, just a difficult to find wisp).
I was only running it at 2.0V and drawing about 4-5A. It rated for 30V and 6A. It was running in constant-voltage mode, meaning the current wasn't even maxed out.
Obviously, I turned it off, unplugged it, and haven't used it since. I opened it up, saw a few large capacitors, waited a day and then hunted around inside it a little but couldn't find any obviously ruined parts.
What would be the procedure for diagnosing and potentially repairing the problem?
Thanks.
