    XFX XPS 650w 3XS PSU making Ticking/clicking sound

    Hello

    i have a older powersupply from XFX that makes this wierd electronic ticking /clicking noise. Its not the fan thats making the sound. See video below. Is anyone familiar with what component this sound can come from?

    All voltages are normal.

      The ticking sound changes as i draw more power from it, lets say i put 3 fans on one of the connectors, the sound gets faster and more quiet.

          maybe the PFC circuit has a loose coil that is moving with the pulses

              You where absolutly right. Glue was cracked on multiple coils, glued em all down and now its all silent.! TY

                  Interesting, I have a few APFC units that are also starting to get noisy, so maybe I need to do the same.
                  Fingers crossed this was the issue. I always feed uneasy when APFC PSUs make strange noises.

                      Onkyo-593 No power and now clicking sound
                      by Sisko
                      Hi all!!

                      Ok just got a Onkyo SKW-593 sub woofer that has no power person told me that it smoked and that his GF let the volume full when she powered off the amp and when he came to turn it on the sub played but then suddenly smoke was coming out, didn't say from where. So opened it up and saw a resistor made of metal (pic) but can't see any writing on metal par so what ever was written on it was burnt. So I'm kinda stuck here with this. I did ask for a repair or schematics in the other group section and waiting for this but I hope someone here might lend me a hand to try and identify...

                      Samsung UE49KS7000SXXH - fast clicking sound in standby mode
                      by B0r1s
                      PSU - BN44-00878A

                      Symptoms:

                      The TV turned itself off, and I haven't been able to turn it back on. The standby voltage was unstable and lower than it should be.
                      A weak clicking sound was coming from the transformer.

                      Video with clicking sound:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAduhjNtqCA

                      Progress:

                      After the transformer, I measured four Schottky diodes. DM862C and DM864C diodes readings were 003 in both directions. After detaching them from the circuit and measuring them, DM864C was the shorted one. These Schottky diodes are SB550.I...

                      [SOLVED] M1 MacBook Pro clicking sound logic board 5V no power on A2338 820-02020
                      by slimmy182
                      Hello, I bought this Mac from a friend, he said that it simply stop working. The MacBook looks very clean but does not power on, stuck on 5v 0.42A, and sometimes display 5V and 0A (then 0.071A and again 0A).

                      I opened it looking for some problem, it was not touched before for sure and the board is very clena, no spot of corrosion at all from what I can see. Voltage on multimeter of the board off the case it's the same, 5V 0.42A. But then I noticed this "clicking sound" come from the board ( I attached here the audio file).

                      Looking on google I found this:...

                      what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
                      by ChaosLegionnaire
                      so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

                      i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

                      Vizio VO47L FDHTV30A Picture but no speaker audio, clicking sound
                      by nbnb
                      I have a Vizio VO47L FDHTV30A. The picture works well, but the sound only works through the RCA output jacks. The sound does not work through the internal speakers or the headphone jack. The TV has a rapid clicking sound when the tv is on that occurs about 4 times per second. The clicking sound volume is fairly low and is not affected by adjusting the internal speaker volume level. The clicking occurs whether or not I disable the internal speaker through the Vizio setup menu. The clicking only occurs while the TV is on.

                      Any idea what is causing the clicking sound? Any easy way to...
