        NM, saw you did in multi-post. You can attach all to same post.

        Click -> Go Advanced -> Manage Attachments -> Browse (for each file) then click -> Upload (wait for it to finish) then close the pop-up window.

        I can't see anything obvious. FYI - The top isn't made to come off the fuse. It's meant to be un-soldered.

        Do the sniff test and see if you can localize the source of the bang. Look for obvious burn/scorch marks or components missing pieces. Such as the face of the transistors mounted on the heat sinks. Look for debris on the board from a blown component.

          That was how I uploaded photos but for some reason it would only do one at a time, the only thing I can find is the burning around the fuse .
          No joy from the seller it was a bit misleading anyway because the website said .co.uk making it look like I was buying from UK company not until I purchased did I find out it was from China as I paid with PayPal I have opened a case for a refund but that is not getting my iPad working

                Excellent! Thanks! Usually need a jeweler's loupe for the small ones.

                  We'll PayPal found in my favour
                  So now I need to try and repair the old PSU so let me explain what happened my son sent me the imac by delivery van when he packed it up very well it was working ok but when it got here it not even turn on but when we fitted the PSU that went bang it worked for 4hours before it went pop so it was not anything else so why would a PSU fail in transit.

                    Re: Newbie - Imac 24 - Liteon PSU - no power at all

                    Have you tried the original PSU again?

                    If I understand correctly...

                    -The iMac -was- working when your son shipped it.
                    -The iMac did -not- work when you received it. Yes?

                    Had your original post been clear on that, this would have gone in another direction. My first choice would have been to check all the connectors/connections. A PSU failing in transit is not likely.

                    Re-reading the original post-
                    "then a loud bang and the trip went out when I removed it I found the fuse had blown"

                    Does that underlined bit mean it tripped the circuit breaker?

                      Thanks toasty for your reply
                      And yes the house trip went out but that was with the replacement PSU not the original one that would not work when it turned up from my son,and yes I have tried the original one again just to mak sure, and it still not working.I am going to put the meter across it when I get time.
                      But I thought it was odd that something should happen to it in transit

                        If the bang was that loud and took out the circuit breaker, then the destruction -should- be obvious.

                        You did have the PSU mounted correctly with the insulation in place? I'm thinking maybe something touched the chassis from the mains.

                          The only burnt bit was the fuse that blew itself to bits.
                          But I have found the problem with the old PSU the two wires that supply the 240vto PSU one had a break in repaired it and imac working fine.
                          Many thanks for your help.Dell

                            Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                            by Tynan Dill
                            I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                            Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                            I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                            The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                            With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                            Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
                            by PantherDave
                            Hi all!

                            I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

                            I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

                            Hi all,

                            TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


                            I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

                            A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

                            I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                            One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

                            Hi guys, I need your help again.
                            I have this iMac from a customer that shut down during a storm along with all the other devices in the house. In particular, the router, connected via Ethernet to the iMac, caught fire.
                            When I removed the screen from the iMac to check the status of the LEDs, I noticed that none of them were lit. I had a perfectly compatible and working power supply, so I tried it right away, but the problem remained the same (no LEDs). With the thermal camera, I noticed only a slight warming (32 degrees) of the NCP1605BG chip on the power supply. The rest was completely...
