Bad Meanwell Driver?

Ok i finally got the second half of my 14 2ft f series strip build put together. So i wired up one driver to test each half of the light as i finished yo ensure it worked. The one driver powered both 7 strip lights. The other driver upon initial power up goes pssss like a fuse burning, my flower room smells like burnt electronics, and 1 half of my light isnt working. Already bought another driver but can this still be warrantied as a backup? I bought the pair from an eBay seller listed as new in box.

Contact the seller and see what he says.. Maybe a knock off! Meanwells are warrantied...
Good luck!

Yeah i sent him a message, doubtful of a response since its a single person, not a business, and they were bought 2 months ago almost. Id just like a spare. Or i could just buy more strips and build another light! Lol. Kinda disappointed i gotta wake up and re hang my hps until my new driver gets here. That almost 2 year old bulb gotta be getting tired. Bought a replacement bulb about 6 months ago. It arrived broken, ive got pretty good luck.
