GHD Chronos S8M261 Hair Straightener

An expensive new model from GHD.
Fortunately, after tearing it down, the good news is that we can repair damaged mains cables, elements, thermal fuses and other cosmetic parts.

I don't really see any benefit over the much cheaper Platinum Plus model.
Mine has an annoying buzz from the on/off button caused by the piezo buzzer being too close.
20 second heat up time was nearer 24 seconds and the temperature attained was 190 degs C, a fraction high but a normal variation we see daily.

Full tear down to follow for engineers only.
This not a model the consumer or DIY repairer should ever attempt to repair.

Packaging, marketing and feel = as expected
Long term reliabilty expected to be the same as the S4C242 model.
