    Re: PMG5 1kW AcBel PSU, Blown Fuse

    I completed the reassembly of the whole computer. Everything went back fine, no left over parts, and it's nice and clean now. I even took apart the do-not-take-apart-ever-never CPU module and replaced the thermal paste on the CPU for good measure. It passed the hardware test and the CPU thermal calibration. I put in a spare WD Raptor X and installed 10.5.8. Works great, totally a usable machine. Fast hard drives make even lower spec machines work faster.

    While celebrating my success, one of my friends who is my ebay guy tells me something came in for me.... a psu for this thing, great deal!.

    D'OH

    Anyone need a PSU for one of these?

        How much?

        Nice to see it up and running.

        They also make good air cleaners and emergency heaters.

            Absolutely. I had a Quad core G5 down here to work on for a client (the one with the watercooling) and it raised the room temp significantly. They're really just space heaters with some added functionality You have to respect something which needs a dedicated 20a 12v rail piped direct to each CPU card. I really can't imagine why they never made G5 laptops....

            I'll PM you about the how much...

                Argon SA1 audio amplifier power-supply - fuse blown after fixing the short?
                by Babbar
                I found a project in the electronics trash yesterday. A nice Argon SA1 audio amp with some electrical issue. Took it apart and saw that the 4A250V fuse was blown so started lifting components to find the short. Eventually got to two MOSFETs (model FTA14N50C) that are shorted and when i took them out the short was gone.

                Now i didn't have any replacements of the same model of course but i found a couple with pretty similar spec i thought (K10A60D & K12A50D) and put them in. Also replaced the blown fuse with a 3.5A250V one. Checked another time for short circuit and plugged it in....

                HP X360 convertible battery blown fuse error, not charging
                by drscoot
                HP Modelnumber: 14-dh0061nb​
                This laptop had a shorted cap on a Vcore section. After replacement is works again. But there is still a battery issue.
                The battery is HT03XL and with the built-in component test from HP, in the Power section, I get an error: Logic State: Calibration required (20), Charge state: Blown Fuse (42)
                I have another same battery, also with error: Logic State: Very Weak (70), Charge state: Blown Fuse (42)
                And a third battery TF03XL (looks identical) with error: Logic State: OK (0), Charge state: Blown Fuse (42)
                All these 3 batteries are charging...

                Carver CM-1090 - Power relay clicking on & off, then fuse blown after 20-30 seconds of power cycling.
                by beetle1303
                I gotten a Carver CM-1090 amplifier from a friend who has kept it in storage for decades. Opened it up, thick layer of dust cumulated everywhere. Vacuumed it semi-cleaned, and blown off as much as possible the remaining dust. This is a 220V version.

                On initial powered up with nothing connected - it works with all the lights and button indicator lit up as pressed, etc. I then powered off, connected a CD player into the CD RCA input and powered it on. It seemed to work for a short while and when I turned the volume up and down to see the the VUs works, the power started to clicked off...

                Samsung UE46ES8000 Blown fuse but no other signs of short
                by jesterace
                Hi I wonder if anyone might be able to steer me in the right direction. I have this Samsung UE46ES8000 TV and it went bang during use. The main fuse on the PSU board is open. I've checked every diode/mosfet/transistor I can see and nothing appears to be short to cause the fuse to go. The DC output of the bridge rectifier is not short either. I've seen online that some of these models are known for having their PFC mosfet or other mosfets shorting and blowing the fuse but i'm not seeing that here. If anyone aware of these models having any issues to cause this? I'm reluctant to just replace the...

                Gigabyte 980TI Windforce - Blown PCIE Fuse
                by whc14765
                Hey,

                I have a Gigabyte 980TI Windforce. No shorts on the main 8 pin PCIE power connectors. The 8 phase buck converter inductors are showing 2.5ohms.

                The card doesn't power up at all - no lights, no fans, nothing. I noticed that all of the 8 phase inductors are showing 0V. I couldn't find a fuse for the 8pin power connectors.

                I did notice that the PCIE x16 connector 12V line has a fuse F3 (10A marked on it) which is blown. It is reading 16ohms on one end.

                1st Question: Is there some logic on the board that checks the 12V on the PCIE x16 bus connector...
