So I'm trying to learn my way through fixing electronics by practice.
This power adapter was given to me by my friend, instead of throwing away, because in reality you can get a replacement for €15.
The fault is: no power output
My findings: easy... at least 3 blown SMD resistors. At least that's what I can visually see.
Root cause: unknown
I'm going to post some photos of the PCB. The main goal of this post is to simply understand what could have caused them to blow up.
My way of thinking is this: as far as I know resistors don't blow on their own, and blowing up means that a large amount of voltage was sent to them, right?
