    Edac/Drobo Power Supply Fuse

    Hello,

    Looking for next steps on troubleshooting for an external power supply made by EDAC, model EA11011H-120. The power supply was dropped onto a tile floor and initially and briefly worked but the led power indicator light faded out and the power supply showed no signs of life since.

    In disassembly, I found that the large capacitor had leaked and was reading open when measured. The fuse nearest to the AC in had also blown, with no continuity. I ordered a new capacitor and fuse and replaced both, but on power-up with no load the fuse immediately blew.

    I'm curious for recommendations on what to test next. Photos attached, though I desoldered a couple other capacitors nearest to the large cap in order to test them which thus aren't in the photo. Both of those tested fine.

    when it was dropped it probably cracked a solder joint or 2,

    but about the fuse,
    check the bridge rectifier, the mosfet on the heatsink near the main cap, and those 2 small brown ceramics for shorts
