I wonder how FB would have done if they'd IPO'ed the Google way--Dutch auction style--which, for Google, was quite possibly the smartest thing they ever did, because it put so much of the first day pop into their pockets and not those of the big institutions.
It looks like the metal ends of 12V line and the ground next to it, which should have been kept apart by a divider in the plastic shell, were not kept apart, or something conductive got between them, and either way, enough current flowed to heat up the metal ends considerably.
Tell Samsung they owe you a new drive and a new adapter.
The edge connector on the circuit board or the connector coming from the power supply?
Somewhere along the line one of the three "hot" lines(+12, +5, and +3.3 Volts) didn't have enough resistance between it and ground, most likely. If one of the hot lines touched another current would flow because of the voltage difference from the less positive to the more positive one, but the design of the connector puts grounds between those 3.
Unless something in the DVD drive went bad and was drawing too much current, the problem was more likely something about the plug from the power supply.
What was the model number on that DVD drive? (I have a Samsung with problems myself)
Are you using genuine Reynolds Aluminum for that hat?
Normally, well-argued points don't include the phrase "if this were a SNES game" - just a heads up if you want to be taken seriously.
True, this being Slashdot, he should have used a car analogy instead.
Since the 1850's, the Rockefeller corruption network
So while the rest of the world thought John D. Rockefeller's father was a traveling salesman (and maybe even snake oil salesman) whose cheating on John's mother eventually turned into abandoning the family and living under an assumed name in a bigamous marriage in Canada, he was actually out setting up this secret network?
I was wondering how long it would take a Philip Nolan reference to pop up.
I guess they quit making school kids read that a while back.
That looks like it might be an interesting post.
Is there a translation of it into English available?
A contract requires consent. Please show me where I consented to this contract.
Sure. It was right about the time that you stayed here instead of leaving.
Which didn't happen to those that were intelligent enough to work hard, open a business, and save their money.
Unless they saved that money in one of the many, many banks that got wiped out by the Crash of '29 and its falling dominoes aftermath, even though the bank itself only made prudent investments.
Did you ever know anybody who lived through those times? Or listen to what they had to say?
