Re: I just accidentaly destroyed my Fortron Blue Storm II


Thank you for offering to help me, but as I said up there, I gave it to the repair store.


The fuse in my house burned when this happened, so that would mean the grounding is alright?


Thanks, I will for sure think about this next few nights before I go to sleep, I was holding the cap with both of my arms....

@stj & momaka thank you for your help, but I really don't know where the fuse is, I decided I'll take the PSU to the repairshop and explain what happened to the repairmen
this repair, no matter how simple it may be, is too hard for me

@dragos2009 that is a nice find really! thank you, didn't even notice and you found it on the picture

@ChaosLegionnaire Lesson learned, I assure you. I'm never messing around with high voltage components anymore...
PSUs are always grounded like this...

ok, if it helps in any way, the fuse in my house burned when this happened as well, it was 500V 16A fuse, I had to replace it

You gave me some hope in repairing the PSU when you said that I probably killed the semiconductors and then you immediately crushed all the hope I had by saying "and possibly other components in that part of the circuit".

So, I should just buy a new one I guess.

With my limited knowledge, I would barely replace the semiconductors, but there is no way I could find and replace those other components that I probably destroyed....

Hello everyone!
So I recently had problems with my Fortron Blue Storm II (JonnyGuru review: [url]http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=84[/url]).

The problem was that when I would turn on my PC, my fans would start spinning and then stop after 1 second, PC wouldn't boot up at all. Classic PSU problem I thought, and went ahead to replace my Fortron with a PSU from my brothers PC and voila - my PC works!

So I went ahead and opened my Fortron to see if I can find out what's wrong with it. What I saw were multiple very dense clusters...
