I was wondering that, too. I've seen plenty of
such sockets that have a
metal can on the inside of the case containing suppression components, and
have seen more than one fail - result being that the smoke works its way
out via the external power cord pins. It's so long since I've been inside
a DELNI that I don't remember if they have these (or if they're just a
plain ol' socket)
Several years ago the scrapper I was working for got a couple pallets of
"dead" plasma monitors and TVs. None of them would power on, and none of
them had any status LEDs visible... We opened a tv and monitor up and first
bloody thing I did was hook up a power cable and take a meter to the output
of the power filter/socket assembly. -0- Volts AC.... Bypass it and voila
the monitor lights up... Check the TV and the same damn thing.... All of the
monitors and tvs had the same problem. $30 each later and they had a LOT of
plasma monitors and TVs to sell.
