15:25.42KotCzarnyhmm, my n900 charger outputs 5.4V
15:25.46KotCzarnynot good
15:27.25sicelooriginal?
15:27.32KotCzarnyYUP
15:27.52KotCzarnyfew months ago it was ~5.05-5.10V
15:27.55siceloeven with a load?
15:28.07KotCzarnywith load it drops to 5.3V
15:28.47KotCzarnywhich is out of spec. and some time ago i lost a ssd drive due to some other usb device outputting 5.35V

16:42.56sixwheeledbeastmy 10 year old charger is 5.02 dropping to 4.99 with an N900 on it.
16:43.17KotCzarnymine was fine too, when i last checked it
16:43.22KotCzarnywhich was few months ago
16:45.58sixwheeledbeastsome smoothing component my have failed taking it over spec? I had a cheap usb car charger that outputted 5.45 I didn't know about it until I tested it recently. I would only use it in an emergency when the device was nearly empty but still not ideal.
16:46.33KotCzarnythat's probable, anyway, anything over 5.25V WILL fry devices over time
16:51.38sixwheeledbeastIf certain the tester is true then I suppose it's time for a new charger.
16:52.04KotCzarnyyes, checked on 2 other usb sources (thinkpad port and opipc port)
16:52.18KotCzarnyboth ~5.0-5.1V
16:52.27*** join/#maemo saidinesh5 (~quassel@minad.de)
16:53.23sixwheeledbeastMaybe a 10m uUSB extension lead would have enough voltage drop :P
16:53.28KotCzarnygood thing i've found out it's breaking down
16:53.36KotCzarnynah, probably it will get worse over time
16:54.01KotCzarnyi will keep the charger for unimportant uses
16:54.49KotCzarnyso, lesson for today, measure your chargers/psus from time to time folks!
16:54.55sixwheeledbeastI have only recently got a USB tester and for the price they are well worth keeping in your toolbox. I have found several bad devices.
16:55.07KotCzarnyyup
16:55.16KotCzarnyi bought me 2 over time
16:55.30KotCzarnythe latest is the blueish with white display
16:55.44KotCzarnypretty nifty, shows all the info at once
16:56.30sixwheeledbeastThe one I have measures mAh. so if you reset it you can measure capacity too.
16:56.38KotCzarnyyup
16:58.22KotCzarnyhttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/32455167954.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1ec64c4dGGVxCT
16:58.24KotCzarnythis one
16:59.02KotCzarnythere are newer models already, but this one goes dirt cheap and is nice
16:59.16KotCzarnyand can go up to 3A
17:01.38sixwheeledbeast<PROTECTED>
17:02.46KotCzarnyand it seems some sale event is on aliexpress
17:03.04KotCzarnyso, grab your usb meters now folks

17:09.10sixwheeledbeasthaving uUSB in aswell as A is useful
17:09.47KotCzarnyfor testing uUSB cables, yes
17:09.48KotCzarny:)
17:10.12KotCzarnyunless you have some otg port that can be put in host mode
