A Note Of Caution

I have a digital camera that hasn't worked very well for a while now. Basically, it doesn't work. With fully charged batteries, it would just about turn on. When plugged in to the mains, it turns on, then off again without hesitation. It doesn't really do the job of a digital camera.

So I decided to rry something. I put a couple of extra volts of power in to the camera - just to see what would happen, like. It killed the camera.

So, a note for everyone: don't put more volts through your digital camera than it's designed to take. In fact, maybe don't try it with anything else either (although sometimes it's useful with speakers; you can occasionally get a little more grunt out of them that way!).*

*I take no responsibility if you break your speakers doing this, but it's never broken mine. Throwing them against the wall and smashing them on the floor by mistake did, however.

Anyway, just a word of warning for you. It made no difference to me, though - the camera was already broken!
