Mini USB Port Current Voltage Tester [€1.45] [TMart]

AlanS181824

Hi there,

There's a USB Port Current Voltage Tester which is currently on sale on Tmart.

It basically tests what power a USB port is putting out and is pretty useful to see if a USB port is working or not or if the device in use is just faulty etc.

It can also be useful for checking the voltage on phones or old computers.

It's $1.99 (€1.45) down from $4.29 so I said why not! :pac:

It'd probably be very useful for someone too!

Use the coupon code which you enter at the checkout and it should go down.

It seems like a great little device and I can't wait to get it!

Non opus est, nullo modo emi

Looks classier in Latin (probably a cr*p translation though), we'll get it put on the Bargain Alerts crest.

Cheers OP, this could be a useful addition to the work toolkit.

Great deal!!

I bought another one with simple LEDs recently (this one) which was about 20 bucks and less functional than this one. Ordered one now too.

By the way I use it to measure the power consumption of a raspberry pi, these sensors are very useful if you work on electronic projects with a raspberry pi.

The last time I had one of these I used it on a very old Dell computer that my mother owned. The local computer repaid shop were quoting €200 odd to "fix" it, ended up just being a faulty USB port which was verified using one these devices.

Bought a spare USB header port thing off eBay for €5 and it was fixed!

I'd say these would also be cool to see how much power a USB device is actually draining vs what the manufacturer actually quotes.

How long does delivery from Tmart usually take? Are we talking 6 weeks, or is it more reasonable?

TMart are grand to deal with, last time I bought something it took around 3 weeks to get here.

Just be warned that Customs tend to open most stuff from Asia but I doubt they will with this as it's such a low value.

Under 15/20 quid is exempt from customs. Can't quite remember the value, but it's something along those lines if I remember correctly.

Hong Kong warehouse.

3 or so weeks for free delivery.

Customs may open it but unlikely given its value.

Anything else? :pac:

I have a review of the SJ1000 action can here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057232116

If it's a case of TL;DR then basically I highly highly recommend it, great camera, great quality footage and a grand price!

I see they have the SJ4000 on sale at the minute so you could get that.

But I'm not really sure the differences bar the form factor and the load of colours! :pac:

From my own experiences with DHGate/AliExpress/TMart etc Chinese sites tend to "declare" things below their value to avoid Customs.

For example when I bought a €200 odd tablet from AliExpress it was marked as a 50$ photoframe!

Had to pay €20 VAT on top of that too with DHL.

My SJ1000 was marked as a gift I believe.

Customs tend to open it regardless if it's a package but they leave envelopes alone.

These are just my own experiences though so it may be different for others.

For the sake of €0.05 I wouldn't be bothered.

I've never used BuyInCoins so I can't comment on them but I've always found TMart great to deal with.

Uh-oh, well, I've bought it now! If I can get a few uses out of it it'll be worth it anyway. Thanks for the update!

crasy dash

you never know i could have just got a dud looked impressive though when it did work.

Plugged it into 3 different chargers and connected to my phone.Might have done something to it
when i plugged it in and out of my laptop cracked it open couldnt see anything loose so its in the bin now.

Mine arrived this morning, so far it's working OK *crosses fingers* Quality on this kind of stuff can be very hit and miss.

Here's what it looks like in action (taken with my phone while charging phone through it):

crasy dash

Just be careful with the usb connection to charger end mine felt fine at first but after maybe 6 or 7 tries on different devices it begab to wobble a bit

Ended up stopping so cracked it open and found this
