I changed two controllers/transformers earlier for a friend. I was there to do six. I connected the first two and well, they blew up .

Sorry for pointing something out.....

Sorry, it just came across as the whole "China makes low-quality goods" racism that's been around for decades at this point.

@princessnorah

China does make a LOT of really low quality goods. However...
... those goods are made to the quality specified by the importer / wholesaler / buyer...
... because 'cheap' goods are often preferred over 'more expensive but higher quality' goods...
... by the people who buy them.

Which is probably what happened in this case!

I *think* that most Ming dynasty vases are still 'under warranty'!

That's just a product of them making a LOT of goods for the world. If you have a flagship smartphone, it was probably made in China.
