    Does it still work in any other socket? If not just bring it back to where you got it.

    ok when i hit the top of the box thingy the digits(indicating voltage ) flash on and off like normal but rather than staying there it just goes blank

    im as much looking for explanation as i am for solutions

    It could be a loose connection or a dodgy wire or something.

    its smells like rotten eggs so i assume the inside has been fried:eek::D

    reckon theyd refund it? it cost like 80 euro..my problem is now identifying if it did burn and why

    It was bought 3 weeks ago. I'd say they'd refund it.

    in a further twist to this already intriguing tale, the adapter now seems to have come back to life, divine intervention? who the **** knows!!!

    now it leaves me in the rather uncompromising position, get an exchange or assume it was just a little mishap.

    I'd stop using it tbh, if you got a smell out of it, it sounds like it's fried. Take it back for a refund, don't take chances.
