Though held in place with a screwed down plastic bar; it was not attached except by the 3 solder joints that also provided electrical contact. These solder joints broke away causing the unit to fail.....not a very good design. The device was easily fixed by hard wiring the power cord to wires from the plug to the circuit board inside the unit. Works fine now and will likely last some time.
