There are some Macron photos around here - these PSUs look good inside.

Re: Post your bad experiences with Antec power supplies here!
Well, I decided to open up my spare Antec TruePower 380W spare for kicks, and wouldn't you know it. Two bad Fuhjyyus! Right next to the fan, even. This came out of my Antec Sonata case that's at most two years old. The PSU has been out of the case for about a year.
I wouldn't even ask someone to recap the thing. Look at the mess of glue in there.

Re: Post your bad experiences with Antec power supplies here!
I should also mention (I can't edit a post more than once?) that the above PSU was used on a power conditioner for its first few months of life (Furman PL-Plus) and then moved to a UPS (APC Back-UPS ES 725) until it was replaced with an Antec NeoPower 480. I honestly don't know how the thing could have killed itself.
In retrospect, I have a 5 year old or so Sato (I think) LPD2-300WW that has one barely bulging 1000u 10v Jun Fu, and this PSU has been through hell with all the power fluctuations in this building and no protection.Comment

Re: Post your bad experiences with Antec power supplies here!
I have seen a Antec server PSU faling the catastropic way.
it comes with an 2he 19` server case. The whole rack was conected to an APC UPS so no overvoltage. After the braker gos of, the PSu burnt several minutes until the UPS are empty....
In my opinion Antec is all crap. I think they are real blenders. They sell well equipted an fanzy desinged boxes with lot of cheapest bs in it. In other words i never ever would bay an Antec psu. They cost so mutch money and are in fact crap.
I know, all retail PSU`S are realy cheap in production, and in most cases there are not mutch different to cheap oem`s. Just marketing. But Antec overdo it in therms of value for money. Thats are my 5 cent`s to Antec. From a business perspective they do well, but i hope not in the long run.Comment

i had my antec sl450 psu for over a year now, no problems at all, upgraded to intel 3.0ghz and a GeForce 6600GT, still going strong. last week, i bought a GeForce 7800Gs, the psu is well over the needed specs for that card. it burnt the card just 3 days ago, got it replaced, tought it was only a bad card. nope, its the psu, damn it.
to use my computer , had to disconnect every fans, and my 2nd had, along with the cd-rom drives. waiting for a new psu. ill buy enermax. i never will buy antec again! isnt it supposed to have a protection of some kind, to prevent this. even my old bestpower(very generic) psu never had any problems, i had it for like 3 years, and was running all day even during summer when it's like 35degrees inside.

Re: Post your bad experiences with Antec power supplies here!
Not nice to hear. I went with an Antec TC 550W as I thought Antec were a high quality brand and all that.
I'll be opening my PSU's which are currently in use and taking a look at the state of things pretty soon then.....

Re: Post your bad experiences with Antec power supplies here!
I opened up my Antec Truepower 380w this morning and found 4x Fuhjyyu 3300uF 10v capacitors bulging and venting aswell as 2x Fuhjyyu 2200uF 16v caps venting, the Rubycons on the input weren't though, of course =P
I'm intending on recapping it.Comment

Seen that happen as well. One customer had a Gigabyte Skt. 775 MB with a P4 CPU (Can't remember speed). It would have been a fairly expensive computer. Anyhow, the motherboard got Antec'd.I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

Re: Post your bad experiences with Antec power supplies here!
Just got yet another Antec smartpower in. This time its an SP-450 It has one Koshin cap and the rest are a mixture of Teapo and Fuhjyyu. So far, the Koshin is the only failed cap. they must be VERY bad if the fuhjyyu have all outlasted it.I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

Re: Post your bad experiences with Antec power supplies here!
Just destroyed it in the re-cap. A path came off the PCB when I pushed one of the caps through the hole.

Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.
Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.
I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.
The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.
With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

Hi,
Back after a long hiatus with some old power supplies that need repairing. I've recently picked up a couple of 386SX systems, two 486DX systems, a SiliconGraphics Indy and an iMac G3 that either have verified leaking capacitors in their power supplies, or are likely to in the near future. For the sake of simplicity, instead of tackling all at once, I'm starting with the 386's and one of the 486's.
The 386's power supplies are Seasonic SS4040A's, with caps that are visibly leaking, and 9 replacement caps per unit are required. Most appear to be from the Rubycon... -
