I've never been so not upset at damaging a critical piece of stereo gear! $35 and two days later everything works again. My Digione remained intact!

The cause: I bought an HDPlex 200W power supply and had some voltages modified. I wanted the 5V output raised to 9V and didn't realize that this would also raise the voltage of the USB output, which I had planned on using to power the Pi. So, Zappo.

To HDPlex's credit they offered to pay for the damaged PI, but all I really want is for them to remind others that the 5V output and the USB output are the same, if they get the 5V modified.

BTW the current 200W units have 2 adjustable outputs (not 1 per the web site) and they are adjusted internally (I wigged out when the pictured adjustment screw was not present on my unit)
