    X-Power PSU

    Well, after getting yet another PSU for my PC - the Mercury one failed , I got the X-Power ATX-400TD because it was on promotion.

    Picture: http://www.maplin.co.uk/images/full/A97FC_new.jpg

    Before installing it, I peeked through the slots and saw that it was packed with TEAPO caps on both the input and output. Also, after powering it up, the two fans seem to be running quite slowly - but the box says it's designed to be a quiet PSU, probably two fans running slowly rather than one running fast.

    I wonder how long it'll be before this fails? Can we trust the TEAPO caps? Then again, my 'High Power' PSU in the other PC is packed with TEAPO as well, and is still going strong after many years!
    You know there's something wrong when you open your PC and it has vented Rubycons...

          Teapo is good compared to crap usually found in cheap PSUs.

              Most Enhance power supplies use all Teapo, even the bulk cap. They do not have a high warrenty claim.
              All the Silverstone Element series are built by Enhance using Teapo and they seem to be doing well, in review and use.
              The PCP&C Turbo Cooled built by Win-Tact use Teapo. I've seen two posted in the last year at AnandTech that had vented Teapo caps but they are a very crowded platform, with little space for free air flow. I have no idea how the owners had ventilated thier cases or how highly the units were loaded. Both were young gammers ...so who knows.
              Teapo does seem to do well in properly cooled PSUs.

              NOTE: The 510s referred to above might have had down-rated fans installed by PCP&C because the early units did have 80mm @ 54cfm and there were noise complaints.

              I'm no expert but would not worry about Teapo caps in a PSU.

                  I have had several FSP units with Teapo, none of them has failed on me yet. Any way, if i have time and caps, i replace any mediocre cap with Panasonic FM`s.

                      Running Line Voltage and Integrating LED Pods - Automotive
                      by FALKLAN
                      Howdy everyone! I hope all is well where ever you are!

                      I'm attempting to integrate a couple of LED pods into an automotive reverse lamp circuit. The problem being, while the vehicle is running there is a 8.5v current present on the reverse lamp power wire. Needless to say is that all LED pods and lights dimly illuminate while the 8.5v is present, so the LEDs are always powered on while the vehicle is running. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the voltage changes to 12 volts.

                      I am uncertain how to convert this line into a switched 12v output line for the LED pods....

                      IBM NetVista Pentium III - USI Motherboard w/ Teapo SC
                      by iMic
                      Hi folks,

                      I have a couple of IBM NetVista desktop computers from around 2000-2001. They have Universal Scientific Industrial (USI) Pro286i motherboards, 733MHz Pentium III processors, and a whole bunch of bad Teapo capacitors. One board has visibly bad and venting capacitors, while the other doesn't look too bad so far.

                      The board with venting caps works fine, while the good looking board occasionally refuses to power on unless it's left for about 30 seconds after connecting the power - even with a known good power supply. (I am however aware I'll need to check the PSU...

                      KDM 480W PSU upgrade succes! (opinions?)
                      by bauto601
                      Back in 2020 i bought a (2nd hand) compact ATX psu to replace my current one. My PC case only fits very short ATX power supplies so i didn't really have the choice of buying a decent 80Plus unit. The current unit is a modded YoungYear unit that i made a thread about a while ago:
                      A "nice" YoungYear unit? - Badcaps

                      The "new" unit is a KDM-M6480 480W psu, the 480W number is a typical KDM bullshit claim of course, but the 24A rating on the 12V rail seemed reasonable and the "Active PFC" claim gave me a bit of hope that this was going to be decent-ish....

                      Samsung NP370E4K No backlight running on battery
                      by Kambi13
                      Hi all, need some help. I have a Samsung NP370E4K-KD2BR, which as a 5th Gen Intel CPU that works fine when running with the charger plugged in, but has soon as I remove it and it's running on battery the screen backlight goes off.

                      Tried different battery - no change
                      Tried different screen - no change

                      Removed the plastic film from the screen inverter and looked for pwm signal which as about 3.3v when running with the charger plugged in, when I take it off the voltage drops down to 2.232v, so my best guess is that the EC is not providing the correct voltage....

                      Asus Rog strix g15 g513ih hn0865 and it's having display issues while running on igpu
                      by Skgod
                      Hey I am having Asus Rog strix g15 g513ih hn0865 and it's having display issues while running on igpu. Works fine when I open any game or whatsapp windows application. The issues are :
                      Black screen, freeze
                      The weird thing is that when as long as the laptop is running on igpu the problem keeps happening. But as soon as I open any game or whatsapp windows application, the laptop works completely fine.
                      When the screen freeze or black screen I used to move the display lid up and down and it usually works like that.
                      So can anyone tell me what would be the possible cause?...
