Re: Enermax Galaxy DXX 850 EWL

Thanks. As much as I hate to appear to be the complete naif here, I know how to test a Bridge Rectifier when it's sitting on my bench but does the test still hold true if the rectifier is in situ ie. still in the circuit board?

This unit is one tightly packed board and I'm trying to fix it without completely disassembling. Is that a forlorn hope?

OK, I guess I should probably admit it, I'm a complete naif!

Re: Enermax Galaxy DXX 850 EWL

So... I pulled it apart and looked for anything obvious.

I have a bunch of frosty looking white staining which may be leakage but still don't know if that's it.
I've looked around for guidance but got kinda lost, can someone advise my where to start checking?
The 20A fuse blows on 2 attempts. Ideas?
Thanks. ...

Thanks for the answers so far. Yep, I understand that the 850EWL needs a minimum load and I'll be doing the component check today. What an adventure!

Hi All, New member here; long time lurker, first time poster!

I've searched everything I could find related to Enermax here and am looking for a little guidance.

I run a Dual Quad Xeon with the Enermax EGX850EWL PSU. I couple of days ago it just died and the PSU power switch was still lit but no LED or indicator buzzer. I googled around and read anything I could find, then opted for the "let's open it up and see what we see" approach. (Disclaimer: The last time I seriously worked with components, Valves were still in fashion!)

Apart from a rabbit...
