Re: Mac Pro PSU

I may be wrong, but MP 3.1 (2008) PSU is more problematic than MP5.1 PSU.
Square trade or not, I ended up buying three non-working PSU in a row.
Luckily all sellers refunded after my description.
But, I don't feel like to try another one.
I will try to replace some caps. If I succeed, I will post here. Fingers crossed.

Re: Mac Pro PSU

I got a used (obviously) Mac Pro 2008. The computer boots but immediately shuts down and reboot when I open Safari (or Firefox). Basically, with any App that requires some power the computer shuts down and reboot. I used a Kill-A-Watt to see the instantaneous power. As soon as, 250 W is reached, the computer shuts down. After checking multiple possible causes, I came to the conclusion that the PSU is problematic. So, I tried to purchase used ones from E-bay. After three purchases, I gave up finding a used one. All sellers just turned on the computer to see if it...
