Re: failed recap - antec true 380

thanks for your reply, yes I made sure I got the polarity correct, I double checked just to make sure.

I have managed to resolve the issue, I used my multimeter probe and a toothbrush to scrape away all the flux around the solder joints.

I tried it again and it's all good
4.93 volts on the 5 volt line

Hi,

hoping someone can help me.
I had a faulty antec true 380 psu.
5 volt output was down to 4.5 volts.
I opened it up and found bulging caps 4700uf f*yous.
I sourced and fitted replacement caps, also replacing the 3300uf and 1000uf ones just to be sure.

I now cant get it to power on at all.
about 5 seconds after removing power it has a high pitched whistle.
I have had a close look at the board and all the solder joints look ok, and all the components likewise.

does anyone here have any ideas as to where to...
