Found metal weight inside
It’s definitely cheaply built. There is no RFI filtering and they used a resistor as a fuse. At least it appears to have a decent amount of separation between the high and low voltage sides though.
Did it cost an unreasonably small amount?
Why did you take it apart?
30$, it’s dead that’s why I took it apart
Can’t find a teardown of that 60W charger, but it looks nothing like some of the Samsung ones posted in the teardowns here: https://www.chargerlab.com/
Absolutely is, no doubt about it
Isn’t that a heat sink?
No, there’s foam under it
Foam, or a heat conductive pad?
Normal tape foam
Heavier = good ?
Free perceived value weight 👍
Interesting.
I’ve never seen a premium brand charger that wasn’t absolutely stuffed with components on one side. They’re always trying to shrink them, and all that real estate on the board is wasted.
