    I've been using the Sparkle FSP350-60PN power supplies from Newegg for $30. They use a 120mm quiet fan.

    The caps are TEAPO-SEK in 470uF and 3300uF. TEAPO LXK 820uF, and OST 2200uF, model not determined.

    The unit appears to run pretty cool because the big fan blows directly onto the PSU board. It is not an active PFC, but I don't expect it for $29.95.

        I am also a fan on the low-cost Sparkle/FSP group PSUs. Unfortunately, they do use Teapo and OST, both of which are proven bad cap brands. I use one in my main system at home though, and have had no problems with it.
        Ludicrous gibs!

            HELP! A1398 Dead,
            by Fam787
            I bought a second hand Mid 2014 A1398 MacBook Pro when I lived in Australia. I'd bought it as a back-up machine because I had a Mid 2014 MacBook Pro, and realising it might one day fail, I wanted a backup machine because I don't like change.

            Two weeks after buying MBP2, the seller called me to check if everything was OK with the unit, which I thought was odd. At that stage I might have turned it on a couple of times, but I'd not used it when he'd called. Over the last few years I used the machine seldomly because my original mac has been pretty OK. Every 3-6 months I'd charge it...

            How to stabilize AC voltage to CNC machine
            by unimatrix93
            Hello there everybody, I'm not sure if it's the right topic to ask this but I hope so.


            I have a CNC machine wired to 3-phase 230V AC.

            It's a smaller CNC machine with a 3500W motor, do it does not uses much power.

            The problem is, when the residents come home and put load on the network, the voltage can drop to around 207V which is fine for most household items but by CNC machine stops working from this.

            I contacted the electricity company but they refuse to help me solve this problem.

            So I started to look around for some DIY...

            820-01700 not booting, 4V PP2V5_NAND_SSD0 but 2.5V when the machine is off.
            by xdever
            Hi all,

            I got a 820-01700 of a friend that doesn't turn on. I read that a typical issue with these boards is the TPS62180 generating the NAND voltages, so this is where I started looking. Sure enough, PP2V5_NAND_SSD0 is 4V when the machine tries to turn on (I try to determine this by measuring PP2V5_NAND_SSD1, which is 2.5V as it should in this case. The PP0V9_SSD0 and PP1V8_SSD0 power supplies for the SSD are on at the same time when PP2V5_NAND_SSD0 is 4V). The extremely weird thing is that when the machine is off (PP2V5_NAND_SSD1=0, PP0V9_SSD0=0 and PP1V8_SSD0=0), PP2V5_NAND_SSD0...

            Siemens Gigaset DA810A landline telephone with answering machine resets every minute
            by Nick Nougat
            I'm posting this here since there does not seem to be a more fitting category.

            The Device
            The Gigaset DA810A is a landline telephone with an LCD screen, an answering machine and integrated telephone book. I have the version for the European (i.e. German) market.
            It has two separate modules that can operate independently of each other: One is the basic telephony part that always works and is powered by the DC voltage coming through the telephone wire. It relies the TEA1110A telephone transmission and dialler chip for that.
            The 'smart' part of the phone with the answering...
