Couple of months ago I ordered two flashlights from Lightake, they arrived, they didnt work as advertised and it took a while before Lightake fixed it by issuing full refund+5$(???) coupon code for purchases over 8-9$.
Aside from the fact that it has no velcro cable organiser on the cord it also came somewhat dirty:
The question is - should I simply clean these contacts and try to use it and forget about it or whether I should contact Lightake no matter if Im going to use this power adapter or not?
Whats your opinion?
Im sort of inclined to contact Lightake rep here at BLF and see what they will say, but I would like to hear your opinion as well :D!
I would stay away from AC power adapters from chinese sites entirely.
I know adapters from more reliable sites can get costly but the tear downs of junk adapters show they are very dangerous.
True, some of them don’t event have a fuse on “primary” side, but many of them are now half decent IC controlled switchers. They still use cheap/short life components, especially capacitors. Biggest problem for me is that vast majority of adapters are in ultrasonic fused plastic cases and there’s no pretty way to open them for check up…
Thanks for your input, folks!
Ive sent PM to Lightake’s rep, lets see what they answer.
I havent tried this power adapter and dont feel like to, Ill keep it in the drawer for just in case if main one fails then this could be tried out only when Im around.
Its not for my main laptop anyway, so its not a problem :D!
You’ve emailed Lightake as well? They might not check PMs often enough. I would give Lightake a good persistent try. Doesn’t paypal always require you to ship the item back with tracking? Kills the refund on cheaper items.
Im not planning on e-mailing them.
They have CS rep registered here at BLF, I sent them PM, no response, I started new thread in their subforum, no response, they said I should contact them here at BLF if there are any problems with orders, Im not going to search like a wacko for their email.
Im tired of dealing with them, thats why I dont feel like spending my time searching for their email.
