Somewhat modern design. Two transistor forward, but no PFC.

$55 for THAT? I guess it's because it's got Gigabyte all over it.. what a ripoff."Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

Re: the gutless, bloated, and fried power supply hall of shame
That's an odd one. The part number 250-60HNN I can see on the PCB means it was probably designed for 250W, but there's no FSP of that model; instead there's a 250-60HHN (http://www.fsp-group.com.tw/english/...=176&proid=658), which is supposed to have a bottom-mounted 12cm fan. Perhaps a special part# for OEM, or maybe even a clone of the FSP?
The ratings are strange too since they match up with none of the FSP models and the 12V rails are far out of balance (one at 8A, one at 14?) A little surprising and disappointing to see a big manufacturer like Gigabyte overrating its PSUs.Comment

Re: the gutless, bloated, and fried power supply hall of shame
Looks like one of the "safety" Y caps shorted. Proper Y caps are supposed to go open when they fail. Or perhaps the coil arced over.
Yet another low end Solytech.Comment

Re: the gutless, bloated, and fried power supply hall of shame
Thermistor blew out, and filter choke burned up, 'cause switchers and/or primary rectifiers shorted. If you could believe its rating, the fuse is probably 8A. Mmmm... chip of the year.
Looks like that 'steel' was excess left over from the cheep 'n nasty scrapheaps disguised as cases. Gotta love the caps... Look! They used a TO-220 case rectifer for the 12v supply instead of two 3A FR diodes soldered to one of those stupid brackets...

Gotta laugh at the label on this.

Re: the gutless, bloated, and fried power supply hall of shame
Hey, it must be high grade - it's got a single United Chemicon capacitor. Makes up for all the other missing parts, doesn't it?
At least it's somewhat honestly rated at 180W, though. Powmax would label this 880W.Comment

Re: the gutless, bloated, and fried power supply hall of shame
L@hoo(.de) noname POS. came out of an Athlon64 3700+ (Socket 939) system..
i didn't even bother testing it.. opened it up and..well.. good thing i never tried to turn the system on with it
lahoo.de actually redirects to some kinda unknown company/shop named ONE.
the wiring on this is really pathetic.. 20AWG, with some 22AWG (!) thrown in the mix.. omg..
caps are all Canicon and SC/CS (the saturn logo) + 2 brown Su'scon on the secondary (which are actually the only non-bulging ones

Re: the gutless, bloated, and fried power supply hall of shame
LC-xxx model number, "2003" or "2002" PWM chip, phenolic board... it's another rebrand of the infamous L&C.
Schematic ("200W" but they probably just reuse the same one for the "300" and "350"):

(I'd trust this schematic the same as I'd trust that PSU, since they seem to have drawn it with the 5 and 3.3v connected together

Re: the gutless, bloated, and fried power supply hall of shame
Sorry, I just can't let a good thread like this die. I got my hands on another Sky 550W-P4 unit, and, as well as load testing it, I put it on the oscilloscope. It failed after about 10 seconds at 250W load (no explosions this time though. I don't know what went wrong, but I don't care either), and at 200W, the ripple was out of spec on the 5 and 3.3v rails.Attached FilesI love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

Back in 2020 i bought a (2nd hand) compact ATX psu to replace my current one. My PC case only fits very short ATX power supplies so i didn't really have the choice of buying a decent 80Plus unit. The current unit is a modded YoungYear unit that i made a thread about a while ago:
A "nice" YoungYear unit? - Badcaps
The "new" unit is a KDM-M6480 480W psu, the 480W number is a typical KDM bullshit claim of course, but the 24A rating on the 12V rail seemed reasonable and the "Active PFC" claim gave me a bit of hope that this was going to be decent-ish.... -
Introducing... the POS-124Z which really is a POS:
Yep it's a POS allright.
I tried powering it up. It's a KILLER - not fried, but sure will fry things! I got 21V out of it unloaded according to my DMM!
I tried 21W load (car lamp) - got 16V, which is really pushing that lamp.
Then I tried a 50W load (car headlight) - got 13.2V. Not too bad but this is with the heavy load...except the circuit breaker kept tripping.
So I had to take a peek:
EIEW. Looks like a Darlington emitter follower + Zener device. Heatsinking?... -
Hi,
I'm learning electronics(already have some basics) by fixing a FH52M LA-J891P rev1B. It come from an acer nitro 5. The charger was defaulting upon pluging. The 19V rail resistance is 0ohm (I believe that caps screw my measurement). When i inject 5A, I get a rail tension of 1.3V, and 0.8V vcccore.
Except the cpu, I cant feel anything getting warmer.
I believe that it is normal, because the cpu is "eating" half the power I'm imputing.
I dont know if the cpu is fried, because I did not remove the big capacitor on vcccore.
I believe that if the cpu was fried,... -
While our PSU hall of shame thread is fun I thought It'd be fun to have a ripple hall of shame thread too
I'll go first out, it's an industrial PSU that offers +15v -15v -5v +5v rails.
However it has been mounted on a frame with DC/DC converters for producing +12v and -12v as well.
The caps for this have gone a bit high ESR
The measured ripple is around 1700mV, or 1.7v!
After recapping the ripple is gone, also note that the scale on the scope is 50mV/div instead of 500mV per div in this shot

Hello!
Looks like I fried something when my EDP cable got squeezed on the hinge. I replaced the cable but still no display. Laptop works fine with external monitor connected through HDMI and Display Port-USB C port. I took it apart and I see a burnt component. Can anyone help me identify what this component is? I tried to use schematics for another G15 but it does not match on the amount of pins and size. I attached pictures. The component has a label on it - (21A29)
