    It’s definitely cheaply built. There is no RFI filtering and they used a resistor as a fuse. At least it appears to have a decent amount of separation between the high and low voltage sides though.

    Did it cost an unreasonably small amount?

    Why did you take it apart?

      30$, it’s dead that’s why I took it apart

        Can’t find a teardown of that 60W charger, but it looks nothing like some of the Samsung ones posted in the teardowns here: www.chargerlab.com

    Isn’t that a heat sync?

      No, there’s foam under it

        Foam, or a heat conductive pad?

        Interesting.

    I’ve never seen a premium brand charger that wasn’t absolutely stuffed with components on one side. They’re always trying to shrink them, and all that real estate on the board is wasted.
