Re: Fortron Blue Storm II FSP500-60GLN

Thank you for all the information provided. I did check and replaced all bad caps including the smaller ones I even replaced a 2.2uF. After all if you read above I did recap twice not once. I will have to check my motherboard it has some NCC caps that do not like heat.
I’ll recap an old Dell board and test this Antec Basiq / Forton blue storm with it and post the results.
Thank you for all your help.

I replaced the caps as follows:
Teapo SY 1000uf 16v replaced with Rubycon ZLH
CapXon KF 2200uF 6.3v replaced with Panasonic FJ
Both types were bought on eBay and tested before installation. Some of the Teapos were dryed up lower capacitance, no leak/bulge, no measurable/high esr.The 5v sb line works I measured it 5.19v and when the power is on the led on the keyboard transmitter turns on.

I know that this is an old post but I have an Antec Basiq BP500U which is the same as this Forton blue storm. My computer turns off and does not want to turn back on. I recapped the psu output 2 times. First time with higher value caps 2200uF instead of 1000uf on 5v and 3,3v and 1000uf on 12v. The 2nd time I replaced the caps with the original values. The same thing happened both times the computer turns off, no reason, and does not want to turn back on. If I’ll leave it unplugged a few days it will turn on and the process will repeat....
