I feel like ranting and I think it is on-topic so here it goes:
One of the things I start to hate more and more is when potentially
nice equipment fails because it wasn't designed to deal with something
trivial like a mains adapter dying.
Currently I have 4 dead wireless access points (from a very
respectable firm, not some cheap-ass shit) dead on the bench here. All
because their mains adapters died.
I posted a picture of a disassembled adapter here:

Notice the burn marks on the rubber foam which was placed between the
casing and the solder side of the PCB.
I suspect the adapters started to provide DC pulses which somehow
partly erased the flash memories in the wireless access points.
