    Corsair 750W SemiMOD

    Got an corsair 750w semi mod, which will not turn on ...

    Now I have 5VSB,The relay clicks when connectin it to 220V (with gren to black) ...

    But have no 12V,5V,3.3V, -12V ...

    All caps are ok,nothing seems to be burned (no smell, no brown place)

    The supply is CS750M ...

    Any advice,

    thx

      More info about the PSU might help us be more helpful.

      Is the large electrolytic capacitor on the primary side rated for 400, 420, or 450 volts? If so, what is the voltage across it? If so and the voltage is around 390V, the PFC circuit is probably working, and the problem is probably with the PWM or inverter circuits.

      Power Supplies should be boring: No loud noises, no bright flashes, and no bad smells.

          They are 400V and I have 340 on them DC ...

          It's a CM750M from corsair

              Sorry CS750M from corsair ...

              Faound that Q103 i Q104 PNP transistors BCW69,BCW70 (H2P,H1F - board marks) ...

              Now :
              base - colector - 0.646V
              base - emiter - 0.660V

              with + on base ...

              base -colector - 1.047V
              base - emiter - 0.646V

              with - on base (that's for Q103)

              Q104 is behaving opposite the Q103 (switched + and -)

              D103,D104,D5,D6 both sides 0.004V ...

              ZD201 one side 0.707, other 2.45V ...

              ZD204 one side 0.725, other 1.197V ...

              D101,D102 both sides 0.660V ...

                  That's normal for when the APFC is not running (i.e. PSU outputting only 5VSB).

                  It's LOW for when the APFC >IS< running (i.e. when you try to turn ON the PSU). Should be around 375-385V DC. If not, the APFC is not switching properly - and that can be due to the APFC being faulty, due to the 5VSB being faulty (on the primary side), or due to the secondary side being faulty and telling the PSU not run.

                  Pictures of your PSU would help us see what you are seeing. So if possible, please upload some.

                      Re: Corsair 750W SemiMOD

                      I have had nothing but bad experiences with Corsair, and wont have anything to do with them after going through 4 of the things in 6 years. I find they have a habit of exploding so extra band for your buck. The end result were boards with large areas of copper tracking burnt of the substrate along with a number of un-identifiable burnt or exploded smd devices.

                      I have had about a dozen of the things come through the workshop for repair mostly the 1200 watt ones with similar faults, few were repairable due to the extensive damage to the PCB substrate the majority of them I had to advise the customers were scrap. At the time they were in excess of £200 with a service life that just made it to the end of the warranty, thankfully in my case there was no damage to the main boards (motherboards) although one did damage a KB.

                          Corsair HX 750W - DC Leakage at 12V Output Rail in Standby Mode
                          by прямо
                          Just received it today from a friend.
                          Auto shutdown by the supervisor IC because of an under voltage condition with 12V output rail (dropped to 10.5V)

                          The same rail also does this when the PSU is in standby mode.

                          https://ibb.co/5TBkg66

                          The leakage keeps climbing at a steady rate but slowing down when it reaches over 800mV or so. I didn't measure exactly at what value it stopped or if it's even stopped at all.

                          What could have caused that?

                          First time I have seen such behavior.

                          3.3V and 5V rails don't have the same...

                          Random Shutdowns/Startup Failure with Corsair SFX 450
                          by h0m3w0rk
                          Hello everyone,




                          I'm encountering a frustrating issue with my Corsair SFX 450 power supply. After an undefined period of operation, my PC will either suddenly restart or, in some cases, it won't start at all until I disconnect the power cable and reconnect it. This erratic behavior occurs intermittently, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact conditions under which it happens.




                          For context, I have tested the PSU using an electronic load at 150W, and under those controlled conditions, it functions flawlessly. This leads me to...

                          Corsair CX750M [Model 75-002019] - burned output toroid inductor
                          by momaka
                          Looks like I may need a little help from the PSU experts (or anyone really! ) I have a Corsair CX750M (Model 75-002019) that I picked up for free about 4 years ago. This is the PSU:



                          So here’s what’s strange about this one: it appears to work normally (normal output voltages) and any PC is stable with it. However, after a while (typically 10-20 minutes, but time can vary depending on the load), there is a sweetish smell of burned magnet wire insulation emanating from the PSU. Upon opening the PSU after this happened (many times), I was able to confirm...

                          Corsair RM1000e - Help identify 5VSB Zener diode
                          by hobostove
                          Hey there guys. I've got a Corsair power supply that's come across my bench dead. I usually don't mess with power supplies, but it's a slow week so I'm giving it a whirl.

                          Taking it apart I heard a screw rattling around inside, and when I got it apart I found a couple blown components near what I think is the 5VSB area.

                          There's a 22ohm resistor that's melted and open, but it still has the bands.

                          The other part is a zener diode and it's top went to jesus, so I can't read the marking.

                          It looks like the diode connects the source and drain of a TNY284...

                          Corsair RM850x (synchronous ATX) need help troubleshooting
                          by W1ngl3t
                          Hi all,

                          I have a Corsair RM850x that refuses to turn on. I have 5v stby but as soon as I try to power it up it goes 'click' and does not deliver any voltages.
                          I have not been able to find any blown or shorted components and there are no bulging capacitors. I have replaced the APFC controller and for a brief period (2 or 3 on/off cycles) the PSU worked but then the fault returned. Perhaps heating the PFC area is what resulted in the temporary fix?
                          The only option I see now is to start pulling components one by one, but before I proceed, perhaps someone more knowledgeable...
