I’ve had two of these top of the line 150 Watt universal power supplies from Prudent Way. Both have failed with normal use. First one literally blew up with flames. Next one just died on me although it was under no more than 110w load MAX. 90w laptop and the USB output. It had been used less than 30 times but was just over a year old. Hence out of warranty. I emailed PrudentWay about the problem but never heard back. I was told earlier by PrudentWay that this adapter would have all sorts of overload / over current / overheat protections to prevent such issues from happening. Unfortunately now I’ve lost faith in the brand. Really a shame because it was one of only a few models I can use for my work as a traveling film maker.
