havmyr16 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hi! This morning my PC wouldnt power up. I looked inside the case and a red light on the power supply was on. I disconnected every thing on the PSU and used the "self test" button. With the same result, the red light is still on. The PSU is only one month old. I have used Corsair power supplies for years without any trouble. But after googling I see other folks having the same problem. Maybe I should go for an older model which is properly tested. RMA in Norway takes two weeks so I probably end up with buing a new and sell the old one... :( Havard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google ANY PSU from ANY manufacturer and you will find issues with them all. Failures happen no matter the manufacturer. It's just the nature of the beast! :) RMA in Norway takes two weeks so I probably end up with buing a new and sell the old one... :( I would suggest calling Corsair's CS and let them know the PSU is only a month old. In cases like this they usually cover shipping charges depending on the situation. You could also request an advanced replacement that would have a brand new PSU to you in just a few days instead of a couple of weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havmyr16 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Thanx for replying. I will try contacting corsair direct. Hope the next last much longer.. :) it has 7 years Guarantee so it should be "built to last"... If the problem occurs again i will go for the standard AX series.
