It was suppose to be a quick recap for this TP380W P/S as I have read thru the many posts in this forum including this one:
Antec TruePower380 & the Fuhjyyu Syndrome
These F caps were replaced:
4x 3300uF/10V (all bulged)
2x 2200uF/16V (looked fine)
1x 470uF/16V (bulged)
2x 1000uF/10V (looked fine)
All were replaced with new Panny FMs.
The P/S would not power up a mobo. Unfortunately, I did not check the 5vsb pin before recap.
After recap, i used an el-cheapo P/S to test it. Normally, all the greed LEDs will light up as soon as power is applied. Then I use my DMM to check the actual voltages to make sure 5V and 12V are within tolerances.
This time nothing. Just the 5vsb light is on.
I checked the actual voltage on that line. It is almost 6v! It is also not too steady. It jumps around 6v +/- 0.2V approximately.
WTF?
I guess there are more caps to replace? Anyone has a list?
I should add that during recap I inspected all the components on the board as well as solder side. no sign of any over cooked components.
