VRM a bit tilted upward
VRM a bit tilted upward
When referring to a slight angle of a few degrees, it falls within acceptable manufacturing limits. For the final VRM in the series, these angles are often deliberately adjusted to align with the traces. A visual example would greatly assist in understanding.
The JPG file shows something other than a VRM—it appears to be a choke. It seems potentially functional, though it could be within acceptable limits. Whether it works depends on testing. If you bought it and it was clearly faulty, you won’t forfeit your warranty. You might still qualify for a simple store return or exchange, provided the item hasn’t been stored for over a month.
Alright, feel free to let me know if you want to stick with it or try something else. It’s simple enough.
