Bushido Smart - ”pffzzz” and smoky smell

[Zhientex]

Hi peeps,

So, I was doing Xert signature test yesterday with ERG enabled. Just when the trainer switched to sprint (1200W) and I had already ~700W going the few seconds before, it all says “ppffzz” and the smell of smoke arises.

All dead, haven’t opened it yet. Awaiting warranty claim from Tacx. Hopefully it will be sorted as it is within 2 year warranty.

However mildly impressed, anyone else with similar problem?

Thinking of changing brand really, second time I’ve got problems with this one.
