PSU shortage

Go to solution Solved by W-L,

I've made my own custom LED lighting mod. it's ok all the the but when i install the on/off switch i forgot that i'd tap at the wrong cable. it begun to short and make some smoke. but when i test again it's ok. what should i do after shortage like that? should i make the system rest? or it's ok to use again?

 

The PSU has short circuit protection so if it was a dead short, it would shut itself down and not harm anything else, just double check your connections on your stuff next time before plugging things in.

If it still works, go ahead and use it. Those things have protections for that kind of stuff.
