      I did. I was told too bad so sad. buy a new Power Supply.  which is why I said I have now sent the pictures and emails to and from NG to my Lawyer.  I even told them I would like to resolve this issue with you instead of going to court.  And they didn't care.  I just realized that I bought Geek Squad protection thru Best Buy when I boought it.  so I am going to return it and go with Google's Mesh Wifi system. it may not be as high MIMO but it will probably not try to burn down my house.  I will also notify UL which certified the Power Supply.
