Default Re: Micro TIG welders

I got the welder yesterday, came with a couple of free dents and dings - nothing too serious. It's a 110V/220V machine and the dings look to have been caused by something smacking the side of the carton. Unfortunately, it was hit right about where the 110V/220V adapter plug was located, because the shape of that plug matches the spacing of the dings in the machine cover. I'm gonna open it up and check that all the boards and connectors are fully seated before I try lighting this thing up.

I checked with the Andeli Store about opening it up, they're the seller for the welder, and they wanted me to try powering it up. I've been starting up electrical systems for over 30 years now... I'd rather do a visual check to see if something is obviously wrong, BEFORE I try letting the magic smoke out, rather than after. You know, loose screws, dangling plugs, busted PC boards - that kind of stuff.
