And that was my issue with it since I noticed that when I inserted the male connector, undue load was being put on the female connector as it was being forced away from the heat sink.

At least mine didn't give those sparks.

Wrong, I did not open the case or solder on the board so how could my warranty be void.

Just push the close ones away from the bullit. They are very soft & bend real easy.

Talked to CC. Tech support guy agreed that it was probably a short accross the heat sink. They are sending me out a replacement. He told me to open up the case and just put a little shrink wrap around the 6.5mm socket. But there isnt any room to do it. Its tight against the plug. Looks like they are using the solutions developed on here as their tech support solutions now. LOL

Hopefully this one is good. I'm really getting tired of this.

I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly
