Spring slippage causes manual opening errors, Imax does not lead to digital opening errors. Recommended

Hey Amazon PCB Electronics Engineers, are you listening? I ripped open the safe to see what was causing the crash that some of the reviews are talking about. (The electronic lock no longer works). Well, whoever designed the PCB decided to use a 300mA SMT transistor if I remember correctly, while the Solinoid draws around 500-750mA (I don't remember the exact number) . As a result, this transistor is likely to fail and the lock will not open. Add to that the key manual issues people are mentioning. It turns out that a small child's quill, about the size of a pen quill, falling out of its holder is to blame. I wedged a piece of paper to hold it in place and since I got it with the unlock key it works amazing. (At least I assume that's the problem.) It will cost you an additional $0.50 to fix these problems. please do it Regardless, I fixed them myself using a bootable external board for the controller. I give you credit for the fact that the control board draws 10.5nA of current, resulting in ridiculous battery life! Although I recommended this safe it is solid and reliable. if you want to play around with the parts inside before use. Otherwise I would not recommend it. Great price for what it is.
