Found C36 reading 4.3ohms and slightly bulging. No schematic and just guessing at this time. Replaced c36, but still nothing. Any hints? This PSU came out of an older Gateway.
Schematic might be helpful.
TIA

Re: ATX 300 12E dead
probably there are more caps bad. Any pictures? Caps still can be bad and look good from the outside. -
Re: ATX 300 12E dead
Measure 5vsb on the purple wire. Should be 5 volts +/- 5%. If not, your power supply will be dead.Old proverb say.........If you shoot at nothing, you will hit nothing (George Henry 10-14-11)Comment

Here is schematic of Bestec 5vsb circuit which should be very similar to yours.Old proverb say.........If you shoot at nothing, you will hit nothing (George Henry 10-14-11)Comment

Re: ATX 300 12E dead
Firstly thank for the schematics - I now have 5v on the purple output lead - No fan or other voltages, no 12s, 3.3, etc.
Will slowly check out the other caps, etc. Any short cut suggestion appreciated.Comment

Re: ATX 300 12E dead
Check for shorts on switching transistor and output diodes. Does fan show slight movement when you first turn on the power supply? The other capacitor forming the pi output filter on the 5vsb should also be changed. Bestecs are notorious for having lots of glue which goes conductive and causes resistive paths. Remove as much glue as you can, especially any that has turned brown or black.Old proverb say.........If you shoot at nothing, you will hit nothing (George Henry 10-14-11)Comment

Re: ATX 300 12E dead
Fixed - replaced C36/2200uf 10v. Also fan was stuck - Had an item laying loose preventing the fan blades from turning. How it happened is still a mystery but it must have been the heat originally. Though these are noted for the C36 going south, from the post on this forum.
Thanks all for the help.

Hi all,
As the title suggests, how can I be sure that my EC chip is really dead?
I've recently gotten into this hobby of laptop repairs, and have successfully brought back to life a couple with some easy fixes, mostly shorted caps.
Now I'm working on HP Probook 455 G8, that had some "devil" run around on 3V line, burning a bunch of stuff. Luckily I have a dead 455G7 (for spare parts) so I managed to fix it (swapped burned parts) to a point that it will charge (both on barrel jack and usb-c), but it doesn't want to turn on. There is a 3V3 on a keyboard... -
hello guys,
i need help to repair a edm-033 ps2
history : as always hdmi port and usb ports destroyed after unplugged
after change them, ps5 dead too : 1 beep, no blue light. after inspection 1.8v power was shorted, and because of dead panasonic chip. after remove it : no short anymore
so i changed it
now i have got 5v stby,, 3.3v stby, 3.3v power, 1.8v power and no short on them
but the ps5 is dead again : 1 beep, near 10 seconds with power lines and then off, no blue light ...
i don't see any projection of liquid metal on pcb.

Hello everyone hope all doing well!
I have this PSU (GPS450-AA delta oem) around for like 4-5 years and I had it recapped early 2020 or 2021 with mostly UCC KY and Nichicon PW's. The bulk was and still is fine, the original Ltec's were bloated and empty. The previous issue was some major coil whine noise and at times random shutdowns when going idle. Today it started tripping the mains breaker and I think I have dead APFC mosfets (20N60C3). Right now upon checking I have the Q1 and Q3 FETs dead so far and I guess those are responsible for the PFC circuit. The only thing I care is If there... -
Hi guys!
I searched for the term "dead short" in the forum but no specific thread came up however if I'm just blind and couldn't see the thread talking about this please forward me to that direction.
So my problem is I don't know how to find the source of a dead shorted voltage rail. Dead short = ~0 ohm resistance.
I have two VGAs (HD 4850 and HD 4870), both dead shorted to ground on the memory rail. I have the boardview file for the 4870 and the memory rail consists around ~7892346 capacitors...
I have a bench PSU and if I try to inject voltage the voltage... -
Hello, today I'm working on this lovely MSI Raider GE75 gaming laptop which I bought to flip. Unfortunately, I believe the CPU is toast but I wanted a second opinion before I chucked it into my spare parts bin. I will not have most tools with me today as I'm away from my workbench but I have the basics (a good multimeter, a horrible iron, a solid screwdriver, and my trusty thermal cam). I do not have the original 230w charger, but I have a Dell 180w which was sold with the device and reportedly "worked fine for them".
Specs: I7-10750H, RTX 2060, 32GB RAM (unknown manufacturer)...
