As for me I'll just quote last years reply, it still holds true, though maybe I'll have to start using my new Win11 work laptop next month since now really is the final month for Win7 security updates

I would not repair a safety relay: if it fails and someone dies/gets injured and your where the last one working on it that would turn into a lawsuit.
Safety relays are cheap, just replace it with a new one. -
Execute disable must be enabled in the BIOS, if the BIOS does not support it then the operating system will not be able to take advantage of it...Leave a comment:

The Pentium M was released 22 years ago, as yours shows it having XD not supported in the BIOS you can not run anything newer than Windows 7.

Older caps just had crappier tolerances due to manufacturing tolerances, there will never ever be any problems to replace a cap that was originally rated +50 / -10% with one rated + / - 20%Leave a comment:

Yes they are badLeave a comment:

Sure, it's never a problem to find a replacement unless it is super niche stuff but in stuff that is only 50 years old that really should never be a problem, just might not look original any longer if they for example used multipart capacitors (they are no longer made so you'd use individual capacitors instead as an example).Leave a comment:

For me to it too much work to go through a million transformers to find the right part but I'll help you on your way:
Wurth has a pretty nice selection of high frequency transformers.
But you will have to do the homework to find out what fits.
You can start with this on Mouser and then follow the links to Wurth's homepage: 750312279Leave a comment:

It might not work without a load: connect something you don't care about, some old hard drives for example or a couple 12v car light bulbs to 12v and 5v outputs.Leave a comment:

Sure you can use that as replacement.Leave a comment:

Measure the optocoupler in diode test mode with your multimeter: since the failed ZD5 zener is parallell to it (talking about the example schematic that c1q3 posted here).Leave a comment:

I could be wrong of course, these "special" resistor bands take a bit of guessing: the best way is to have more of the schematic available.
Right now I can't see where it connects to so I have no way to make a better educated guess.
But if it is before or after the source or drain for example then it is acting as a protection if the MOSFET in the TNY284 gets stuck on...
(And if you look at the top-side photo above it seems the PCB around the drain leg is discolored so I'd say this is what has happened).
And welcome to Badcaps btw and good job so far with the circuit...Leave a comment:

I think the resistor is a 2.2Ω fusible resistor, it looks like it did it's job and is no longer a resistor

Have you ruled out that it isn't TVS diode P6KE150A (VR1) or Zener diode 1N5254 (VR2) from the example schematic you posted? (By studying the actual circuit closer/drawing it up more it should be "easy" to see).Leave a comment:

Nice post Momaka, I enjoyed reading it! You should send Seasonic an e-mail about it so they can enjoy it too!
P.S: I was surprised about the -12v rail caps too: is there a back-feeding / protection diode installed between the input and output pins of the regulator to protect it or not?
If not maybe you will find more of these with a shorted -12v rail in the future

That's for the AC side.
The label claims:
12v x 17A = 204W
5v x 28A = 140W
3.3v x 16A = 53W
-12v x 0.5A = 6W
That totals 403W and the model number tries to make it sound like 480W, so it's a over unity free energy device!
This power supply is extremely unlikely to produce half of what the label claims within ATX spec.
It belongs in a scrap pile, not a computer.
Anyway, for test you usually need a load, so attach an couple old hard drives you don't care about and try again......Leave a comment:

Hi Momaka, long time no see
I changed the title of the thread but now I changed it back because apparently the spelling is with the letter O and not number 0 as can be seen on Gigabytes website / the boards user manual:

If you're anyway ordering caps you can go slightly better with Rubycon ZLQ 10ZLQ3300MEFC10X25
As for the voltage rating yea anything over 16v is probably for cost or inventory reasons, but you can easily verify that with a multimeter
Oh, and be sure to check that the KZG near the ATX connector isn't actually connected to +12v and so requires to be 16v rated...Leave a comment:

Next time give electrokit.com a look, they don't have a large offering of caps but their shipping is very cheap and they are based in Sweden....Leave a comment:
