Seriously, I take offense in the fact that you think I just made this up. I hope you were kidding.

I think he was kidding.

Yes, HP did have that problem in some of their PSUs. AFAIK, it's the same problem Enermax had with the glue becoming conductive.

If it did happen, quit buying HP....especially if this is the SECOND time you've encountered this.... If it didnt happen, shame on you for fibbing!

...but yea, lets see some pics... You had enough money to buy a macbook, I know you have a digital camera lying about...

yeah... IIRC he has an iphone... that has a camera!!!

I will defend shovenose in that it wasn't his HP that went off... he makes it sound like it was a customer's both times. But the lubuntu bit makes me wonder too. clarification?

I know that the teapos in HPs can be nasty... my d530 once bombed a couple by the memory slots... they were very, very swollen to say the least (bowed bungs, domed tops, electrolyte crust everywhere).

Re: Twice in two years

I had a dx5150 where the teapos went bad all over the board. I gave it a full polymod for an experiment (now posted on Hardware Insights).

OMG!

Ok everybody...
1. AT WORK. I mentioned RENEW COMPUTERS. I WORK there. that is NOT my house!!!
2. I don't start digging in my pocket for my phone and waste 5 minutes getting the camera to work. Not an iPhone, it's an Android phone. HTC Inspire 4G. I reviewed it a while ago. If you need verification you know where my reviews all are. I flashed Android 4.0 on it but it's not the official version because officially that piece of shit is still on 2.3 and that's fucking ancient. And, unfortunately, the camera does not function properly, it takes many reboots to get it to not crash the camera app and when it does work it's so fuzzy you couldn't see the difference between a cow and a hard drive. Look at the picture in the link of number 4 below if you don't believe me!
3. I convinced my boss to put the old dc5000s we have sitting around to good use.
4. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/syd/2933176642.html <-- my listing for them.
5. I have never paid a cent for a MacBook. My uncle paid for it. And it's a MacBook Air not a MacBook. Even though I do have a MacBook but it's an older white one he gave me because he was missing a power adapter...
6. I don't bring a camera around with me to work. SORRY, JEEZ!

Sorry if I sound pissed off but I was just trying to share a somewhat funny experience I had. It happened, it really did.

Now, back to what this thread is about...

Re: Twice in two years

...and then sit on your hands for cryin' out loud... Just a little friendly ribbin.....quit getting so butthurt and/or wash the sand out of your vagina!

You really need to get the fuck over yourself and learn to read.

Reread my post https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showpo...47&postcount=4
See that blue smilly face at the end put your mouse pointer on it.
See that it says Sarcastic?
Now dont you feel like a little drama queen?

I was following Rats post about pics and the old saying goes "if you dont have pics it didn't happen" as a joke thats why the Sarcastic Smilly Face is at the end.

Sorry next time I will try and make it more clear Im kidding my 11 year old grandson got it so I figured you would too.

Re: Twice in two years

Would love to see some pictures too, I wonder what made the capacitor explode so quickly, maybe the power supplies are missing a fuse xD

Re: Twice in two years

There are 10+ more in the stack, as I test each one and install Lubuntu I'm sure I'll come aross another one with a faulty PSU that will blow up on me

I'll try to take the PSU home with me on that one and autopsy it.

**Scenic** · 04-01-2012, 04:44 PM

Re: Twice in two years

Open up the PSU and get rid of the tan-glue-of-death before you blow up even more of these. The PSUs are a painus in the anus to fix once they're blown cause it's never the same components that go pop, so there's no "replace components X, Y and Z and it works again" recipe..

The usual firecracker models are the HP D530 SFF's. It's always the tan glue of death in the PSU (primary side) which causes it.
