oh, that's OK then  Roll Eyes your miners MELT.

Just to be clear. I am not saying it is ok that they melt. It is a very serious problem and frankly unacceptable. However having the actual unit catch fire and light other things on fire is not possible.

and if it ever does, what will be your statement then? i'm unsure if your statement above shows ignorance, lack of knowledge, or simple criminal negligence.
You know who i fear for? it's those people who have received units and have listed them on ebay, knowing full well that by doing so, they are endangering the lives of those who buy them. Just as Black Arrow have endangered the lives of those who purchased from them in the first place.

if there is propensity for the units' parts to melt, then there is also propensity for them to set on fire. the pictures already posted on this thread show scorch marks, and not melted components. Scorch marks are an after effect of overheating, as are flames. I will go so far to say that your ignorance is deceiving people into thinking that there is no way these units will ever produce a flame when they overheat. I will also go so far to say, that the propensity to catch fire, is there.

you cannot spin it any other way - The overheating of components HAS the propensity to catch fire. It's as simple as that.
