      ...and another brand disgraced. Looks like they followed Antec.

      Aren't Emacs part of Zippy, or have some relationship there?
      You know there's something wrong when you open up a PSU and are glad to find Teapos.
      Why I don't buy cheap cases!

        What year model was that? What's the exact model of that power supply? I recently purchased a Zippy Emacs, opened it up, and found Nichicon and Rubycons.

            Uhh, that was quite on the lowside (wattage)

            Just one desktop IDE drive draws about 30w on startup, and 10w continous, so he was really pushing that poor PSU...

              Boy! I bet that's a suprise to some. It is me, even though I've never opened or touched a redudant PSU.

              My nephew had a HG-2 6460P shipped to me for a little mod work. External 92mm fan and a 20+4 shell conversion. It's open on the bench atm.
              The beer can is Rubycon, 400V, 330uF(M), 85C, USC.
              All the small caps are Capxon, 100uF, 25V, of those I can see well enough.
              The rest are United Chemicon 8 & 10mm, 105C, KY.

              The HP-2 6400P in use atm but I did slide it out of the case & raise it's hood.
              The beer can has a wide white stripe w/rectangles, black in color, HP3 85C, 270uF 420V. It also has an egg shaped circle with a square inside then a dot, like a logo.
              One small Rubycon. The 2200uF are United Chemicon. Most of the rest are Capxon with a few small United Chemicon.
              That's the best I could do w/o removing the pcb.

                btw after the rebuild the system starts and runs just fine on 1 psu but i could preheat stubborn boards with the heat it throws out the back.
                runs cool on both.
                this doublewide case was bought 2 years ago.no year of mfr. seen.
                this psu is odd in that it only makes +5 +12 -5 -12.in the modules.+3.3 is made from +5 in the backplane.

                  failing hard drives after sitting for years...
                  by eccerr0r
                  With the discussion about water pumps failing when cars sit for a while, I wonder what people have seen with hard drives. Do people see hard drives failing after being sat on the shelf for a long time unpowered versus a hard drive that's at least powered up at least once in a while, say, weekly?

                  Wonder if it's worth spinning up the spare spinners once in a while to keep the bearings lubricated?

                  Wonder how I should best keep my cold spares for my RAID "fresh" for eventual failures of the working drives. Was thinking about keeping a hot spare but that's another...

                  Evaluating Mechanical Hard Drives SMART Data in Linux (Ubuntu) Using the Disks Utility.
                  by abajor
                  I've gotten into the habit of Looking at peoples Mechanical Hard drives with a Ubuntu thumb drive to boot their system.
                  I understand the raw values are not really uniform between manufacturers, but I have noticed that high seek and read error raw values at the very least correlate to a drive that is going to have sub par access time, and extremely slow OS booting.
                  The odd thing is I've often seen very high seek and read error rates on drives with fairly low on time.

                  Does anybody have any other takes on evaluating smart data? I've used Crystal Disk Info, It seems to present...

                  Troubleshooting of redundant F750E-S0 Dell PowerEdge Server
                  by omega
                  Hello all,
                  as a beginner electronics hobbyist, after a few years I would like to place another post on this Forum section, given that I did not succeed in finding any useful advice among the other posts.

                  Over the last years, I have been using a PowerEdge Dell Server with two redundant PSUs, namely the 750W F750E-S0 ones (aka 06W2PW). Unfortunately, last summer one of them failed (perhaps owing to an overheating), and the server had for working to take into account the other one only. Of course I opened and tried to troubleshoot the failed PSU, but each cap I tested seemed to...

                  what to do with faulty hard drives?
                  by ChaosLegionnaire
                  i have several dead/bricked (not detected, doesnt show up or making constant clicks of death) and faulty bad sector hard drives. im moving house soon and need to get rid of some dead weight.

                  i thought of selling them for parts or not working but they are quite heavy and shipping each drive internationally via local post is US$23 each. im using some of the drives as gym strength training dumbells by putting 4 of them in a box to make a 3kg dumbell. but since im moving i cant carry the deadweight with me. any ideas what to do with them that is cost-effective for ppl like me...

                  Lenovo laptops unstable with sodimm ram
                  by dr.thodt
                  For the second time this week I received a Lenovo laptop with onboard ram and one sodimm slot. Both laptops run stable from their onboard 4GB RAM, but turn out to be very unstable when there's a sodimm inserted in the slot.
                  Both times it was a GS44D/GS54D NM-C711 rev 1.0 board.
                  Both times there were no loose pins on the slot and it did not matter what sodimm I put in. It just artefacts and crashes randomly when there's extra ram.
                  What I did notice is that almost all coils have very dirty phases one the mosfet side when checked with an oscilloscope. Not something I see very often....
