Product Failure II

Continued from product failure.

Power Adapter


5V 2.5A AC power adapter failed.  It was still able to provide about 0.5A, but larger load caused it to turn off.  The output capacitor showed sign of heat damage.  It was a 16V 1000uF by TEAPO, but measured to have only about 5uF capacitance.  After it is replaced, the adapter worked fine with 2.5V load.  It is unclear just what caused the capacitor to overheat.
