    Re: Enermax Liberty PSUs - are Panasonic FM\FR\FK good?

    Have someone find out what capacitor makes is the typical one that makes this does-not-power-on problems? I understand that i makes sense to replace all caps after that many years but because the PSU works fine when it turns on once, it would make more sense to me to just replace this one or two caps that make those power-on problems.
    Seems like the whole fist enermax liberty series have exactly this one power-on problem after time.

      Most Enermax units, not only Liberty. Seen many series before Liberty and Liberty. Been told the problem is not single one though, only the behaviour is the same.

        Enermax Liberty ECO 400W [ELT400AWT] - from scraped to serviced
        by momaka
        Remember this pile of junk electronics I got last year? Well, that's where this Enermax Liberty ECO 400 Watt PSU came from. Like I mentioned, it had cut cables and many bulged caps on the DC output side. I stripped a few cables and did a quick temporary recap with whatever junk (but still reading OK) caps I could find, then performed a basic power test – the PSU passed. Thus, I knew I'd eventually go around to repairing it. One year later and we're here.

        First shown is the label below, so anyone reading can see what PSU we're dealing with here.

        Enermax Tomahawk ETK450AWT PSU Repair
        by eigma
        A few weeks ago my computer power supply (Enermax Tomahawk ETK450AWT) stopped working. Of course this led me down a reverse engineering and circuit debugging rabbit hole ;-) I also learned about capacitor Equivalent series resistance along the way, and wrote an article about it all. Here are some sneak peeks:







        And the full article:

        Enermax Platimax EPM1500EGT random turn on
        by LeKowalsky
        Hi,

        I'm novice in smps repairs and lurker here also in addition to my preparation I have read Jestine Yong's Troubleshooting & Repairing Switch Mode Power Supplies many times and I cautiously proceeded in small steps a time.

        What's on the table?

        Enermax Platimax 1500W (EPM1500EGT)

        Symptom

        A fault is a little tricky here. When plugged into the wall for a first time (i.e. after proper discharge) PSU starts on power button (PS_ON) as expected, runs smoothly with all the voltages in tolerance also shows quite stable operation...

        Enermax MODU 87+ EMG500AWT
        by Xorat
        Hello there,

        i got this power supply from Enermax, that was Dead until i removed that one cap. It is connected to 12 V and ground and it was completly shorting. Now my question would be, do i need to replace it and if, how do i get the value of it ?

        Without the cap it turns on and runs just fine (stress tested for about 2 h with mainboard, cpu and gpu).

        best regards...

        Wolf in sheep's clothing - Enermax in a Deer casing
        by Dan81
        As the title says, I got a "AO" (no, not AOpen , their units are FSP) PSU that sits doing nothing and I have a complete PCB from a Enermax EG-365P/VE sitting here. It's a "P4 ready" variant according to the old casing. (which I ditched because of way too much rust)

        Here are my goals with them:

        - remove whatever PCB the Deer has (and probably reuse it when I need a solid 200/250 watt unit for say a Pentium MMX - Pentium 3 range machine)
        - remove the auxiliary AT- style plug from the Enermax and the -5v rail as well since they have no...
