I saved this PSU from a PC that someone threw out
The teapo output caps are bulged
It's got a TL384P chip on the primary side.
Plugged it in, turned it on, it worked for a few minutes, and then the 10A fuse blew (leaving the surrounding area blackened).
Then i put fuse holder in, and a new fuse, and it blew again the instant that i switched the power on.
There is no short from live to earth when it is unpowered, so what could be causing the fuse to blow?
By the looks of it, it's probably not a very good PSU but i wouldn't mind trying to get it working because it has longer power connector wires than my other ones.
