Woo!!! my first peltiers! I got 3 fot $10! Anyhow, i only looked at 2 of them, because they were wrapped up well(2 of the 3 were identical). When I got home from the swapfest and unwrapped the one I hadnt previously inspected, it had some weird mettalic looking stuff the same color as the thermoelectric junks but paper thin and all over the place. On inspecting it more, it looks like someone flipped over the coldplate/peltier assembly and powered it, thus not having a cooled hot side killing it, I powered it for a few seconds, and sure as hell the hot side was on the bottom. But it that means it works right? there is no visible damage to the junctions. I have yet to test the 3rd(small one with copper coldplate).
all 3 units, one powered
frosty!
fuxxored or not?
