More unplanned for expense ..
Was just logging in to the forum ..when my main PC went bang ..and I saw sparks out the corner of my eye around the psu ..
Quickly opened up the case and from the smell ..evident the psu had dramatically bit the dust..
Currently running on my standby ATX ..but with half the PC disconnected..(Only 350W )
Lucky I guess no damage evident on the secondary/PC side of things.
This psu was bought roughly 14 months ago ,,,and of of course only had a 12 month guarantee ..
Took the opportunity to go up a level ..and fit an 800watt psu to replace the 700 watt one that went bang in such a dramatic way.
New psu on order ..hopefully here by thursday...but an expense I could have managed without.
Opened the dead un up ..and you probably guessed ..
Totalled ...Kaput....beyond repair...and all down to 3 bulging electrolytic caps ..
So WAS serviceable if I'd caught it earlier ..but there was no warning ...
First sign of impending doom was the skid mark on my undies ..as the it violently died..
