AM4 b350 motherboard .... both have a coil getting warm with only 5Vsb present

07-02-2024, 02:06 AM

Hi, I have a couple of AM4 b350 motherboard to fix .... I try to see what I got without installing anything (no memory, no cpu) and give them just 5V standby .... and I have a coil getting warm on both board near memory (1,2v on one, 1,35 on the second one). Is this somehow normal? Because It looks very strange to me.
And can't identify anything else getting particularly hot who can be the sink for this current ...

TIA

KDM 480W PSU upgrade succes! (opinions?)

by bauto601

Back in 2020 i bought a (2nd hand) compact ATX psu to replace my current one. My PC case only fits very short ATX power supplies so i didn't really have the choice of buying a decent 80Plus unit. The current unit is a modded YoungYear unit that i made a thread about a while ago:
A "nice" YoungYear unit? - Badcaps

The "new" unit is a KDM-M6480 480W psu, the 480W number is a typical KDM bullshit claim of course, but the 24A rating on the 12V rail seemed reasonable and the "Active PFC" claim gave me a bit of hope that this was going to be decent-ish....

Seasonic B12 BC-550 – barely 2 years old and with BAD CAPS already!

by momaka

I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

https://www.badcaps.net/filedata/fetch?id=3591772

It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

KingWin ABT-650MM 650 Watt ATX PSU [PCB: SW8835REV:A]

by momaka

For today's thread, I have a KingWin ABT-650MM ATX PSU. Official web page with the PSU specs is still up and can be found here:
http://www.rmac.kingwin.com/products.../abt_650MM.asp

I just can't help it when I see a broken / for parts PSU on eBay that's listed for cheap and looks at least somewhat interesting. Well, OK, I won't lie – on the outside, this PSU looks anything but interesting. It's a plain gray box with colorful “spaghetti cables”.

What mostly drew me into buying it is its 2x PCI-E power connectors...

A Dead/DOA Gigabyte GP-P450b 450W ATX PSU

by momaka

More eBay specials: this time a Gigabyte GP-P450b 450W ATX PSU for $8 with free S&H. Listed “For part/not working”, as usual. Showed up in a beat up EVGA box without any padding… but that's understandable given the total price. PSU made it out fine without damage. It's a non-modular (yay!), pretty modern-day looking PSU with a black paint and all black cables (meh, not my favorite, but figure it's good to keep a few of these in case I do need one for a more modern PC build, just so my old gray boxes don't look too odd in there.)

And a shot of the label:...

How can I test coil whether it is really broken or not?

by chth96

I have old game console which have connected to 220v outlet by previous owner and It is not able to turn on.

I checked continuity of fuse in PSU unit with a multimeter which is shown in the below picture with a orange circle around it, and It seems that fuse became open circuit.

I also found that as well as bulging capacitor, there is unidentified coil which has residue all over its surface

unidentified coil which has residue all over its surface

I want to replace this round black fuse and unidentified coil if it got broken.
