Hi, my landlord moved my PlayStation while still plugged in. The next time I used it a breaker popped twice (my entire apartment minus lights lost power). I unplugged the unit and had no more electrical issues. I have no way to open it to find out if there is damage. Would someone know?
Something does not sound right here. If by using the unit you mean that you plugged it in to use it, then the problem is more likely to be the power cord and not the machine itself. There is a fuse inside that would open if there was a problem with the unit and that would prevent any possibility of causing your breaker to trip. Either the power cord is shorted causing the breaker to trip, or this unit is drawing just enough current to make the breaker trip. If the cord is not shorted, then have the breaker examined. I woul suspect that the breaker is faulty. As with any piece of electrical equipment, it can fail. Breakers fail in one of two ways: they either become way to sensitive and trip when they shouldn’t (I suspect this here), or they won’t trip even under major problem stress conditions. Check the breaker and cord and update this with what you find. Dan
