megajolt v4 or v4e
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi all,

a megajolt v4 is offered to me for nice price.
Is the newer v4e version much better and should i buy that one?

cheers

From memory the 'E' version does the same as the non-'E' version but uses components that aren't suitable for DIY assembly which is why you can only buy it fully built now.

In practice I guess you wouldn't know the difference between the two units.

It's pretty much as Midas has said, but if your a berk like me and damage the unit, you can't repair it yourself. Other wise they work the same, the plugs are the same aswell, when I broke mine, I just plugged a normal v4 in.

Turbo parts collector at the moment, almost ready.

One of the other reasons for the difference is that Fresscale (makers of the MCU in the Megajolt) keep EOL'ing the chips. The makers of MJ decided to go surface mount to cut down on the number of returns that looked like they had been soldered with a hot shovel.

btw m_M69, if you need your other MJ unit fixing then let me know.
