The product, in the report: 12v ATX PSU Tester
I purchased an ‘Antec 12V ATX PSU tester’, and it melted. Fortunately, I came home before a fire started, but my home was filled with fumes. While this unit has saved me countless hours of time, it’s important to note that the unit appears to lack any diode(?) protection. I Left mine plugged into a PSU that I was having troubles with, in that it would flake out after running for a short time, so I left this unit plugged in and went down the street for 1/2 hour. Upon my return this tester was literally melting and, luckily, barely avoided killing my pets with toxic fumes. I was surprised that an electronics tester like this wouldn’t automatically turn off if it was melting.
