So i was experimenting with some LED strips.
I already have one piece connected to one of the PWM 2 pin plugs and that is working fine.

but i got another strip and was testing it out without cutting it down first. I knew i was pushing my luck cos by my calcs it was drawing 14.4 watts so about 1.2 amps. and the limit as far as i know is 1 amp.

i thought i'd get away with it without cutting the strip yet, but then after a few minutes it cut out and won't come back on now.
I plugged my other short led strip into it and that doesn't work, so i guess the pwm channel is knackered.

what is likely to be blown on this and is there likely to be any fix i can do?
is it likely to be the VRM cos i think i can see that and probs replace that if i had to.

it's not the end of the world, just annoying that i made such a silly mistake.

I've already bought a replacement for the part i think it could be (it was cheap)
i could replace it if that was the problem, i have a good enough soldering iron and enough skills for that. anything more complicated and i would probably just live without it. everything else still seems to work ok.

the aquaero is installed in a really tricky place in my case, i'd have to take a lot of stuff out to remove it.
