      2. @ceruleanspark no. I'm peeking inside a remote controlled lamp adapter thingy. And it seems that by "No user serviceable parts", they mean "everything inside is on a single sided circuit board and can be replaced using a soldering iron"

        1. @techdisk That sounds about right

        2. @techdisk Don'tcha just love when you disprove "No user serviceable parts"? http://pny.lv/esm4

          1. @techdisk You've only disproven it if you can plug it in without getting electrocuted

            1. @ceruleanspark I'm not stupid enough to do that while the case is open.

              1. @techdisk If you made a big enough mistake, putting the case back on won't save you

                1. @ceruleanspark I know. Either way I haven't actually done anything. Just opened the case, had a little look-see, and closed it up. Because. http://pny.lv/esme

                  1. @techdisk Yes that's an antenna.

                  2. @techdisk amazing!! This looks much like a 1970s-80s Hongkong AM transistor #, combined w/ some integrated circuit thing at the bottom

                    1. @mcscx It's interesting. Nothing /really/ cool I can do with it since it doesn't have a grounding socket, therefore I can't just remote control my entire computer setup... Oh well.

                      1. @techdisk in DE there are *only* grounding sockets (aka Schuko), both in walls as in devices.Schuko was already established after WorldWar I

                    2. @techdisk probably this device uses # I wouldn't touch that antenna :-) How old is it?
