Hello,
I have this amp for almost a year and I've recently noticed extreme overheating after leaving it connected to the charger for more than a day.
I remember reading (most likely in the user's manual) that the iBasso P1 has overcharging protection circuit and thus can be left connected to the charger.
As far as I know, the problem has started only recently and maybe related to the current warm weather. I'm not talking about mildly warm amp which is a common behavior of most power supplies, but rather a level of heat which is painful to leave my hand on the amp surface for more than 5 seconds.
I bought this thing at eBay and rather not hassle with shipments and warranties.
Is there anything that even an electronics illiterate like me can do, like
looking at specific connections, cables or components?
I may experiment some more with recharging and checking at which point does overheating start, but I'm concerned that this thing might explode as in laptop horror stories (the idea of several overheating little batteries contained in a metal box makes me somewhat uncomfortable)
TIA
