Re: the gutless, bloated, and fried power supply hall of shame
Pulled this PSU out of an old Pentium 4 Dell Dimension with 36,000 running hours on it. Was pretty dusty. Cleaned it and discovered some dead Teapos. The primaries are both bulged and one on the secondary is bulging a fair amount. I thought that plastic caps on the top of the primaries were just curved up but when I push on them, there is pressure so they don't move down at all. Not really worth repairing? It's pretty weak. Only 12A on the 12V...
Doesn't look like the secondary could get much airflow, especially with how dusty it was before I cleaned it out.
