"So I'm going to be as kind as a plus we can in this because I do not feel that it is the seller's fault that this happened now let me run you through how my purchase went I ordered the power supply for my computer it arrived on time well packaged I installed it had no problems and for about 3 months it was a good power supply I was sitting at my computer watching a video and started to notice a sizzling sound coming from the back of my computer I look up and notice smoke it starts crackling so I tap the back of the computer gently thinking that maybe some dirt or something had gotten in the way and a big flash shot out the back of my power supply, now if my power hadn't already went off on my computer I would have turned it off as quick as possible I instantly shut off everything uninstalled the power supply and put my previous one back in which eliminates me being able to use my graphic card, so anyway I contacted Amazon and I feel that this is not their fault either as they did try to help me with the situation but they had informed me that I did not pay for a protection plan but I was still in the time period to return the item and receive a refund all I would have to do is wait for an email and then ship it back what's the email never came so here it is almost 4 months after buying the power supply if I do recall and I still have a dead power supply so I decided to take it apart it turns out that the circuit board was broken in transit I further investigate the power supply and it turns out that the circuit board was so low to the metal that it started to heat up causing the burn mark that you see in the picture, now again I don't feel that this is the sellers issue and I don't feel that this is Amazon's issue I feel that it was an issue with Transit but what am I to do I do not know still currently without a power supply to be able to run my graphic card I feel that I am out of the amount that I put into it and have nothing to show for it it's sad but not sure what to do on the matter it is up to you rather you feel that it's a good purchase honestly while it worked I absolutely loved it for the power supply itself I would have to say it is a really good purchase if it is handled with care."
