I did buy this at Littlediode, (First time I've used them). I am now
wondering if they are indeed a trusted supplier. It was shipped (according
to them) from the far east, taking a week or so to arrive.
I woudln't normally do this, as if it is too good to be true then usually it
is.
Hence me buying another one from HHB who I trust implicitly and will have
sourced the part from Genelec.
Unfortunately I paid more for postage from HHB than the entire Littlediode
transaction cost!
Ho hum, and there's me trying to do the customer a favour.
Thanks for the info, when I get the other one back from the customer I shall
break it open for comparison.

Funny how not even the OEM or replacement Genelec devices have any
manufacturers ID. Doesn't fill me with great confidence, and the Genelecs
are not cheap speakers.

I would say the more precise script is on the genuine one. Rougher/less
robust ink is probably on the copies/fakes. At least they did not make sham
logos like the Philips , Fairchild, Linear Technology soics in an MBOX I was

They are both genuine. They badge lesser spec'd devices to sell at a
higher amount. I've seen this with projector TV convergence amplifiers.
I try to buy from the manufacturer or a well trusted source.

Interesting.
most of the failed power modules i have opened up show clear arcing on
the power device slugs. They look relatively clear on yours.
It does look like a couple of the SMT transistors are damaged.
Its kind of hard to tell from the picture if that's true or it was
damage from prying the case off.
The epoxied power device slug leads do look a little close together
on a couple of the output devices.

While on gums, I was unaware of Teepee interdental brushes until a few years
ago, for those with teeth too close together for flossing.

Odd you would not be getting the same battery life. Mine has no

That's what I thought also. You need to be aware of ESD precautions
before you experiment with most modern electronics. I've been using an
anti-static mat and wristband for a good 25 years. I've run my fair share
of computer equipment while testing components using a motherboard set
atop a non-conductive surface.

Ignorance ! An awful lot of the new build failures that I see are from
people who have no understanding of how easy it is to cause damage to
components simply from not being aware that damage can occur during
handling.
It seems that all made the assumption that the OP is aware of this. The
original question suggests that the OP isn't !

I would suspect that based on the OP question, that might not be a safe

I don't disagree. But then you and I have been doing this kind of work
for a good many years. I'll bet that you will have had odd failures,
particularly in the early years that you couldn't explain. ;-)

It depends on what you mean by "grounding yourself". Touching the case once
might not be enough, as moving around can generate an electrostatic charge.
The safest thing is to wear a grounded conductive wristband.

So that means since you were the only one to pick up on this that
everyone else in SER is ignorant.

Getting you to the proper documentation would depend on your current
