Solve : faulty PSU? |
|
Answer» If the PSU has gone faulty, would the led's on the front of the base unit still light, would there still be power to the hard drive and would the fan still work?The PSU will be outputting 3.3v, 5v, and 12v supplies ........ so a fault or loss in any one of those could lead to problems. The lead labelled power switch has no power from the connectors on the main circuit board how did you test that is has no power? Quote only the fan powers up. which fan? the CPU fan or a case fan? Quote Does anyone know if there is an in line fuse situated on the main board. there is no in-line fuse on the motherboard. when you push the power BUTTON on the computer, describe, in detail, what happens. does your harddrive(s) spin up? do your optical drives light up? do you hear any beeps?nothing happens at all when switch is operated. no hard drive no lights except the switch led.and the fans thats all ..i have checked with a meter and there is no live to the switch.. Maybe u mean that the CPU has power( power LEDS on, Chassis fan and CPU cooling fan are spinning) but not SENDING signal to the monitor....

Yes......... Did you checked its output voltages? Red wire = 5v DC Yellow wire = 12v DC Orange wire = 3.3v DC Black wire = Ground |
