PC Power supply
by business_kid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6F2AX)
Minor problem here - my pc power sullpy died at 18 months old.
I was going to hand this in, because I only have the use of one hand. But I noticed that the cooling fan doesn't run. From my pc fixing days in the last millenium, all the cooling fans were mains powered, weren't they? Is that still the case?
I bought a pre-built PC, and the power supply and it's dozens of very long leads are all wound into and knotted through the box. So it's going to be torture to remove.
Is there any common faults I can check for on the mains end of the PSU but internal to the caged bit of the PC? There must only be half a dozen components there. I was a hardware techie but it's very different now. I can still talk a good job, but you need 2 hands to even solder!
