jdbaron25 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Ok, I made a BIG mistake.:(: I was working on my system yesterday. The PC was off but it was still plugged in. When removing a screw from my video card, it dropped into my 1000HX Power Supply!!!:eek: Sparks flew up and a breaker in the house tripped. After resetting everything and getting the screw out of the power supply, everything seems to work just fine. Is it possible I could have caused some kind of damage that I cannot yet see or since it all booted up ok, am I ok to keep using it. Thanks, -JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohntechUSA Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I would suspect it would not be a problem but try to inspect where the screw was shorting and see if there is any damage to be sure. Especially sice the breaker tripped more than likely it will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEAR6655 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Wow it still works... There isn't any danger if you keep using it, but I would monitor it for any possible issues. Also have a listen to it to see if its making any new or odd noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorel_81 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Keep an eye on your psu for a long time and see what's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbaron25 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Just wanted to post and update. The Power Supply has been running just fine since 'the incident' with no signs of a problem. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorel_81 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Wow, your psu is solid as a rock. I have the same psu ( HX 1000 ) since Corsair launch this model and no problem with it. Thanks Corsair for making quality products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 9, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 9, 2010 Since the unit is running fine now,that may indicate that the PSU detected a short and powered down to protect the rest of the system. If you have any problems in the future then please Request an RMA, otherwise it sounds like you are currently in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
