My Ruidia puts out too much power to the USB and Ethernet cords I have blown three computers so far.

Anyone with thoughts. I have replaced the low power source and it reads 23.8vdc to the Ruidia. I have also replaced the Ruidi and the high power laser source. Could it be the wiring from the low power source to the Ruidia shorting out or,something like that.

Hi Gregslaser

I answered one of your other posts. 23.8V is typical for a 24V rail. But your USB should only be around 5V
