You must have broken a mirro or something as your luck seems to have run out.

I was surprised that the power brick wasn't 100/230 and wouldn't have thought to look at it.

They are simply a rectifer and DC-DC converter ....

In NZ UPS hands everything off to other contractors, and I've seen the customs part of parcel handling where throwing packages into bins of other packages seems to be the norm.

Sadly some packages aren't packaged to be handled as roughly as they get treated, despite all the stickers and warnings.

blonde girls can sell more electronics stuff because they fit the profile the geeky kids like to watch

A bit of white makeup, a skirt and some padding and I'm sure you'll make some geeky kid happy. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-7403aea4-32c4-4130-b9c8-14dc832da10e/contentimage_5F00_938.png:16:16]

[mention:b0bc65b9ecdc4307bd967592f00e340a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] sir. Yea there was really nothing I could do about UPS. They still have some stuff stuck in customs but [mention:d8b5a813a1e6481d9b41301209fb5392:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] is patiently dealing with them. For the Xbox One, yea its a shame and it seems there is a new problem and the proposed solution is even more stupid than you would imagine...

My PC SMPS solution no longer works and I am completely baffled at whats going on. I shot a video explaining the problem and will upload the same on Monday from the office.(Bandwidth issues). I am beginning to think that this one will stay on the shelf. I did order a new power brick from ebay but do not have too many hopes of that working.

Actually, in India UPS subcontracts a local courier company called first flight and they dont care about much of anything. The guy that came to deliver the box more or less 'dropped' it at my concrete doorstep.

Me doing commercials is a good idea but statistically(google it) blonde girls can sell more electronics stuff because they fit the profile the geeky kids like to watch. Compare twitter followers of Dave Jones from the eevblog to any gamer girl on twitch. You will be surprised. I am still looking for my sweet spot in marketing.

Wow! This reminds me of the Samsonite commercial. They take the luggage to a zoo and the luggage goes inside the gorilla cage. And what a beating where the gorilla jumps on it and throws it around?[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-7403aea4-32c4-4130-b9c8-14dc832da10e/contentimage_5F00_1577.png:16:16] I think since they do not make this commercial anymore, they must have sent the gorilla to India to handle electronic packages. Totally unfair. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-7403aea4-32c4-4130-b9c8-14dc832da10e/contentimage_5F00_2.png:16:16]

PS I am glad you are better than average electronics guy! You should be a commercial over there. Bet you would get a lot of business. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-7403aea4-32c4-4130-b9c8-14dc832da10e/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Ouch - you handled it well though!

Glad it is getting there, would be a shame not to be able to have it in a functioning state again.

Also, how is life with baby? Hope all is well!
