    Acbel 550w price drop! (the famous one)

    i was browsing hypermicro, and found that they dropped the price to $18.

    http://hypermicro.com/ProductDesc.as...LY-BULK&key=it

    i don't need one, but if you do, snatch one!

    btw, they also had vantec stealth dual ball bearing 80mm fans for $3 a piece. ill grab 2 more, they are the quietest fans i have ever had that moved that much air.

    They used to be $19. Not a big deal.

        They started at like $35-$40 a couple years ago and it's been trickling down.

          seriously a gd deal, although my country provides a 5yr warranty, it still can"t match to the website.

          can get one for spare, perhaps do a recap on those ltec caps inside, it will be working great.

                I've been building computers with them, and using them for spares, for years now. Haven't had one break yet.

                But you guys don't want them. They make too much noise. Just leave 'em and I'll take care of them.

                    they are too boring. powmax is cool, they make analog multimeters dance! it looks so cool!

                    and the fireworks they make is amazing. it brightens my life.

                    and they weigh so little that my matching case does not bend.

                    speaking of powmax cases, they are so kool too! they make good drums, they sound like a giant pop can! also, if you need to mod it, it is easy, you just bend it with your hand to make it what you want!

                    and they are so cheap too!

                    ( JOKING!!!)

                    powmax sucks!

                      Cheap cases are terrible.

                      A friend of mine had one, he tried to move it, and it flexed so much it pulled his video card out of the slot...

                              Too bad they don't ship to Canada. Then again, the postage would probably eat up the savings

                                It says availability 1043. I'd guess that's how many of 'em they have.

                                For the record, the one I modified with two 6 pin PCI-E connectors to power an 8800GTX is still working just fine.

                                But what am I thinking. You guys still don't want 'em.

                                      I have one sitting in the closet. Too loud

                                      These things are built like fucking TANKS though. If you don't care about noise, this is a good PSU.

                                          Trouble shooting an A2251, it is giving me the behavior that all three USB jacks except the DFU port are reading 5.18V .24A, the DFU port draws no current.

                                          Tried swapping that CD3217 from a donor, that changed to DFU port same behavior the adjacent USB port is now boot cycling, other side un effected.

                                          Hindsight probably should have checked the diode drops first.

                                          I removed L8100 to confirm that the PP1v1_S3 rail was "shorted" It reads about 2.4ohm and .009V on diode drop. The HighSide Low Side FETS before L8100 appear to be fine. Proper diode...

                                          BeQuiet Dark Power Pro P10 550W PSU: Missing 5V Standby
                                          by peter21
                                          Hi there,
                                          a friend of mine gave me a BeQuiet Dark Power Pro P10 550W PSU.

                                          The problem: The PSU simply switched off during operation and never came back on.

                                          My observations / measurements:

                                          I opened the housing and checked for obvious damage -> negative. Visually, everything seems fine.

                                          Lowcost power supply tester (China):
                                          No result. The power supply does not turn on and the tester keeps off

                                          Next, I measured the 5V standby line (pin 4) on the ATX connector.
                                          Result: Not present (!).

                                          Obviously this seems...

                                          Drop-in replacement for STR-W6052S?

                                          The ma​in board of this LG washing and drying machine was damaged due to overvoltage. It is rated for 127V and was powered on 380V.



                                          Inicial visual inspection revealed that only some components at the input of the SMPS were damaged:






                                          Ironically, both fuses are intact. Probably the X2 cap and the bridge are also damaged. The whole board is immersed in an epoxy resin. I am removing it so I get access to the components.

                                          The SMPS is built around an STR-W6052S, which is discontinued and I can't get a replacement....

                                          Hello,

                                          While trying to fix an SMPS, I hear a ticking sound.
                                          I've checked all capacitors, but none seem to be shorted.

                                          I then suspected an issue with the flyback transformer which has 3 leads on the primary (used in a push-pull configuration ?) and one of them, which is always connected to GND has a resistance reading in the order of Mega ohms with any of the other 2 leads on the primary.

                                          But I thought let's check the MOSFETs first::

                                          The circuit also contains a PFC circuit, controlled by a UCC3818D (D stands for the SMD version),...
