Re: Silverstone ST1500 (+5Vsb shorted)

the NCP1200?
right,
pin6 is the internal power, if it's shorted to ground the chip is fucked.

Yea , lol .
I have ordered new chips , new photocouplers ( PC123 IC ) , 8N80C mosfet and new nippon caps . lol I have spent a lot on this now .
Lets hope that I would be able to fix my psu or else I would have to send it somewhere to get it fixed may be I can send it towards you guys **only if you wish to do the job but I will pay for the job .

BTW take a look at this thread: here

@budm , @stj , @selldoor , @c_hegge , @Agent24 , @predator0357 , @momaka
I have no words to say thanks for your guys , I'm real happy today .
I have fixed the issue.

What I did was :
1. Replaced the NCP1200 Chip
2. Replaced the PC123 IC

And I powered it up and it works like a baby.
You guys did a big help for me explaining each and every part for a newbie like me.
Thanks again to all you guys .

Re: Silverstone ST1500 (+5Vsb shorted)

I'm curious about this thing , can someone explain me .
I thought of replacing all caps except the primary big nippon caps ,
what benefits do I get over my current state ?
Most of the caps that it has are teapo , im kinda trying to replace them with nippon Japanese caps.
Thanks for any help

Re: Silverstone ST1500 (+5Vsb shorted)

Teapo are average, but you would do well to get rid of them if they have had a hard life.

The main benefit of replacing them with good Japanese capacitors is that they, the PSU, and your computer will last longer - which is the reason why anyone replaces capacitors with high quality ones.

Re: Silverstone ST1500 (+5Vsb shorted)

Thanks for clearing it out for me mate.
The nippon caps are the best right ? is there anything else better than that ?
thanks

Re: Silverstone ST1500 (+5Vsb shorted)

Brand is not everything. Nippon are good but lifetime depends on series and other factors.

You should read up on the recapping tutorials if you go ahead. You can't use just anything if you want to be sure that the recap will work well. I personally try to match the specifications of the old and new capacitors closely - so the first step is find out exactly what you already have in there.

This means series, dimensions, value\voltage.

Re: Silverstone ST1500 (+5Vsb shorted)

Thanks mate , il check those info .
I'l also add some recapping pics and difference after my recap.
thanks again mate for all your help.
