    I think it's an NTC thermistor for inrush current protection, like these:

      That is correct, as you can see one side is connected to the + of the filter cap, so it is burnt due to shorts in the circuit some where, or just failed due to under rated.

            Just as with fuses, i wouldn't jump straight to replacing it, before checking for damages "downstream". If something went wrong and toasted the NTC, if you just solder in a new one and turn the PSU on again, there's a certain chance that, whatever the initial issue was, it might cause further damage.

            Just advising caution, that's all

                Random Shutdowns/Startup Failure with Corsair SFX 450
                by h0m3w0rk
                Hello everyone,




                I'm encountering a frustrating issue with my Corsair SFX 450 power supply. After an undefined period of operation, my PC will either suddenly restart or, in some cases, it won't start at all until I disconnect the power cable and reconnect it. This erratic behavior occurs intermittently, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact conditions under which it happens.




                For context, I have tested the PSU using an electronic load at 150W, and under those controlled conditions, it functions flawlessly. This leads me to...

                Corsair CX750M [Model 75-002019] - burned output toroid inductor
                by momaka
                Looks like I may need a little help from the PSU experts (or anyone really! ) I have a Corsair CX750M (Model 75-002019) that I picked up for free about 4 years ago. This is the PSU:



                So here’s what’s strange about this one: it appears to work normally (normal output voltages) and any PC is stable with it. However, after a while (typically 10-20 minutes, but time can vary depending on the load), there is a sweetish smell of burned magnet wire insulation emanating from the PSU. Upon opening the PSU after this happened (many times), I was able to confirm...

                Corsair RM1000e - Help identify 5VSB Zener diode
                by hobostove
                Hey there guys. I've got a Corsair power supply that's come across my bench dead. I usually don't mess with power supplies, but it's a slow week so I'm giving it a whirl.

                Taking it apart I heard a screw rattling around inside, and when I got it apart I found a couple blown components near what I think is the 5VSB area.

                There's a 22ohm resistor that's melted and open, but it still has the bands.

                The other part is a zener diode and it's top went to jesus, so I can't read the marking.

                It looks like the diode connects the source and drain of a TNY284...

                Corsair RM850x (synchronous ATX) need help troubleshooting
                by W1ngl3t
                Hi all,

                I have a Corsair RM850x that refuses to turn on. I have 5v stby but as soon as I try to power it up it goes 'click' and does not deliver any voltages.
                I have not been able to find any blown or shorted components and there are no bulging capacitors. I have replaced the APFC controller and for a brief period (2 or 3 on/off cycles) the PSU worked but then the fault returned. Perhaps heating the PFC area is what resulted in the temporary fix?
                The only option I see now is to start pulling components one by one, but before I proceed, perhaps someone more knowledgeable...

                Weird behavior on 3.3V rail of a CORSAIR CX600
                by bimole
                Hi,

                A colleague gave me an apparently ill CORSAIR CX600.
                He told me that he heard a banging noise, and smelt the magic smoke.
                After tearing down the PSU, no burnt component, everything seems OK, but the PSU often refuses to stay ON. When shorting PS_ON to GND, the fan spins a bit a finally stops. No output voltages.

                I tried to treat some apparently bad solder joins and finally it seems to work OK... on the 12V and 5V rails!
                It's another story on the 3.3V rail...

                I have some devices to test deeply PSUs (scope, AC source, electronic load)...
