Re: Repairing PSU's for Resale: Is it Worth the Time & Hassle?

i rebuild plenty of power supplies and have no problem selling them.
its not my main business i just fix some when the shelf is getting empty or i get a specific request.

Really nice to hear.

I guess if you were PC Power & Cooling, now FirePower Technology, it would be worth it as they charge $95.00/hr to repair power supplies not under warranty as I was curious when mines failed a few weeks ago, wonder how many hours can they actually charge for.

Hmm, interesting. Including shipping? I bet this is just to encourage you to buy a new one.

No idea on the shipping, I asked if they had any current PSU's that had a -5vdc rail and they said they don't and they said they do offer a PSU repairing service at $95/hr + the cost of parts so it's not just $95/hr but how many hours does it normally take to fix a PSU since their diagnosis probably is 1 hour already. LOL.

not worth your time and mind.. but useful as learning progress and fun..

In my town, I can get cheap PSUs for just about 6,5 USD. my friend open internet cafe just throw away the broken one to garbage and get a new one though its not a decent one and last for year. Sometimes I asked him to give me, but now he sold it as junk calculated per kilo

I have 4 spare cheap PSUs in my home and nobody want to buy that for sure.

Around here you can't even sell a good used 350W PSU for $15. Not to mention 300W units... you'd have tough luck giving them away for free.
