Re: Bodges
Not a bodge per se, but crap design.
Sony 21" colour monitors, badged HP. There were rather a lot of them in our plant. Some neds threw something metallic over 11kV feeders not so far away. Mains voltage went down, came back in fits and starts. Auto voltage selector in lots of monitors decided "Oooh, I seem to be in the USA" so they engaged and locked in voltage doubler mode. Talk about firecracker sound effects!
