Wired Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Any signs as to why it happened? Is it on a UPS? Please fill out the specs in your profile in more depth so we can see if the PSU's being used past capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 22, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 22, 2009 I would suggest you to connect the PSU directly to the wall outlet and then test the power supply for functionality with a simple paperclip. First, disconnect all the cables from your motherboard and other devices, but leave the power supply plugged into the wall. Next, bend the paperclip until you have a U shape. Find the 24-pin ATX connector and plug one part of the paperclip into the socket where the green wire ends, and the other end into the socket where a black wire ends. Make sure the power switch on the back of the PSU is on, (should be the I symbol) and the fan should spin up. If it doesn’t, your power supply may be bad.

JoeBob Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 You probably had a bit of bad luck and got the odd bad unit (as it happens with all computer equipment, I know, I've been there). The replacement will probably work out fine for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
