vygec Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Today the PC, wont switch on. ive opened up the case, disconnected the CMOS battery and unplugged the power from the PSU to the motherboard. left it for a minute or so, and plugged all back in again, no change. also tried a different power lead. Can you please advise whether this will require sending back? Im based in london, UK. i have had the PSU for 2.5 years. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 2, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 2, 2009 Please try the Brief PSU Functionality Test with only a hard drive and case fan connected to be sure it is not some other problem. If it will still not power on then let's get it replaced, please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vygec Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 ok i tried the psu test, and sure enough with only the case fans plugged in, the psu fan came on! so what does this mean? as i plugged everything back in the pc after the test, and the pc is still not giving no response.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 5, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 5, 2009 That might suggest the problem may not be with the PSU, can you test the PSU on another system to be sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vygec Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 ok, ive now tried with another psu, and im getting the same results i.e. no power. any ideas what may be causing the problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 6, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 6, 2009 Possibly a grounding issue? Try running the motherboard or the system outside of the case and see if this corrects the issue. Also make sure the case plugs for the pwr switch and reset are plugged in correctly.
