What is the matter with you? Can you not read?

I was thinking the same thing about you?

I think there was a point where he was running circuit off 9v battery?  I'll have to look at the video.  If not.. yep busted.  So you saying the datasheet isn't correct and that AC is always on the outside of the supply.. could be.

What do you mean, data sheet isn't correct? They are correct. The AC is on the outer terminals on all versions of the MeanWell and the AS-branded supply.
The only "discrepancy" is the numbering of the terminals.

There are no other inputs/outputs to that power supply. The fact that the LED is ON.... needs explaining. It will be fun to read the explanations.

The fact that the label sticker that shows the terminal functions has been removed.... is also a smoking gun.

Yes, the Green LED is shown lit and he is touching the 9v battery to the terminals on the Board where he "starts" the thing, and when he removes the 9v battery the Green LED on the PSU goes out. Very clever.

I think we should need to see that PSU plugged into the wall and powering a normal 5v load, then changed over and used in the demonstration again.

OOOPS...... think about THIS photo, at 15:59.


Why/how is the GREEN LED on?


The black wires aren't connected.....

If the BLACK wires are the output of the PSU that is supposed to be running the board that is supposed to be powering the White Wires that are supposed to be powering the PSU..... then the BOARD is running without the necessary feed from the PSU.... which he showed didn't work in an earlier shot.

If the BLACK wires are the mains input to the PSU..... but they are disconnected..... then how is the Green Power LED still on?

If you look just a few seconds earlier in the video you'll see he is powering the device with 9v battery to take measurements.. that is why the green LED is lit up.

I don't see the backwards pinouts you talk about.

Edit:  Oh you saw it.. you posted as I was typing.  I have to go.. will check this thread later in the week.

Hi,

The entire page for PSU.. someone must be mad on finding fakes, ghmmm...
Oh well, you never convince skeptics unless they disassemble unit themselves to see no hidden batteries inside.

Here is audio recording from Teamspeak where Roman explained working principle on how self running LED flashlight was achieved:
