    FSP 350W PSU, +5VSB primary blown, resistor values?

    I have a FSP 350W power supply from an Ahanix case. The primary stage on the +5VSB blew up, although it didn't blow the fuse.

    Some parts got burned and crispy, more specifically, 2 1/8W resistors that are too burned to tell what their values were supposed to be.

    I've attached a schematic of what the 5VSB primary circuits looks like (at least, to the best of my tracing and schematic drawing ability).

    The orange X's indicates parts that were burned. Both transistors were shorted. R16 2.9ohm is a big resistor that went open circuit. The resistors I circled in red are the ones I can't ID.

    R60 - tests open circuit. Not completely burned, but cooked to a nice golden brown. Bands are red-yellow-(purple or brown)-gold, so either 240ohm or 240M ohm. The third band is too darkened to tell for sure. I feel like it would see too much current when MOSFET is off to be 240ohms, so does it make sense to have a 240Mohm resistor there? It would make sense that it measures open-circuit because it's too high for my DMM.

    "R1" - not really R1, but it didn't have a label on the PCB. Brown-blue-???-orange-gold. The ??? is a black, burned section. If no extra band, it could be 16k, but the burned section looks large enough it could have had an extra band there.

    Any idea what those resistors should be? Also any guesses on what could have cooked those parts? All caps look fine.

    I would advise giving it a DM311 'everell' mod. Wait for everell to chime in or see if he he already has provided instructions with a similar PSU.
    I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

    No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

      Ratdude is doing the DM311 mod to his power supply in this thread:

      https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=16071

      Read the entire thread and it gives an overview on how to do the modification. If you have any specific questions, ask away.............

      I was off the forum for about a week. Hurricane Irene did a real number to the electrical lines in our area. I was without power for six days. Sure great to be back on the forum!

      The original DM311 mod I did was on a Bestec ATX-250 12E. This power supply has a bad reputation for being a mother board destroyer. Once the DM311 mod was done, the Bestec 12E turns out to be a really great power supply. I have attempted doing the DM311 mod to several different brands with good results. The Antec Smart Power SP series and SL series worked very well with the mod.

        Thanks, I wish I knew about the DM311 mod awhile ago because I would have rather gone that route. Unfortunately, I had already replaced the transistors awhile back and only need to replace the resistors. I think replacing the 3W 3.9ohm to the source of the FET is all it will take to energize the +5VSB circuit. I don't think the 1/8W resistors look particularly critical so I may give it a shot. If I've missed something and my parts go up in smoke or the +5VSB is off spec, I'll definitely do the DM311 mod.

          Re: FSP 350W PSU, +5VSB primary blown, resistor values?

          All parts replaced, but I noticed +5VSB voltage swings from 4.65V to 5.25V for a few seconds back & forth before stabilizing at 5.15V. For some reason, the PSU would not power on by shorting the power on wire to ground. Nothing at all happened, even with a HDD plugged in. Not sure if there are bigger problems or if it needs a mobo load. After a few minutes, I noticed that something smelled hot (not burned). I shut the PSU down and waited a minute for caps to discharge, then touched the 5VSB MOSFET heatsink, it was crazy burning hot!

          It seems like regulation looked okay, I'm not sure if the 5VSB was being loaded down or if the MOSFET isn't turning completely off or on. I may need to drag out the o-scope and scope the gate. Any ideas?

            You may find this useful for seeing what the waveforms should look like:

              Need help to replace burned resistor in 350w atx psu
              by mikey5791
              Hi to all forum members,

              Got this faulty 350 watt atx psu dirt cheap from a local online seller as i am keen to use it as a learning tool to repair faulty power supply.
              The faulty part is quite obvious from the burn area near the 16pin KA7500 BD pwm. The fuse is still intact with good continuity.

              Upon power on ac, there is 5vdc standby power on cathode of diode D14 and about 10vdc on cathode of diode D13.(This should be the aux power to generate the 12v and 5v rail.)
              Initially i replace the two burned resistors near my marked red arrow to 200 ohm resistor...

              Different (lower) resistor values on PCB?
              by Kobok
              Dear Alls,
              For sure it id a stupid question, but help me to understand. I am in a Dell 2007WFP revitalizing project - searching reason why not starting. Some resistors needed to replaced is is obvious. When I have soldered some resistors the measured (with multimeter) values were sometimes rather different written on them. I supposed these are wrong units so I desoldered and made a checking measurement and voilá the values is the same is written on. This happens only in case of a few resistors, most have the same values (+/- 10%) are written on it. "strange" SMD resistors =>103...

              Dell 2209WA - power supply - Fusible Resistor replacement
              by jinu_j
              Hi

              I am trying to repair an ancient Dell 2209WA Monitor which suddenly shut off with a pop sound. On investigation found that one of the fusible resistors had blown. Further investigation identified multiple components as faulty because of which the fusible resistor blew. Please refer the attached circuit diagram showing the components that were found to be damaged.

              1. FR950 - blown fusible resistor - 0.2 Ohm 1W
              2. Q950 - shorted Q950 MOSFET - 650V 10A N Channel Mosfet
              3. R835 - Blown Resistor - 20KOhm SMD resistor

              HP EliteBook 845 G8 (need resistor values by EC chip please)
              by chronic519
              Hello, I have an EliteBook 845 G8 motherboard sitting here. Customer knocked of 2 resistors by the EC chip. I cannot find schematics, board view or anything related to ID these 2 resistors.
              If someone has this board, could you please tell me the values of these 2 resistors?
              I hate to see this board be unusable due to something so minor....

              Thanks...
