I was trying to fix an All in One PC and the PSU was completely dead. So I replaced it with a new one and now I have the old one. So what is the best thing to do with it? Send it to the landfill or try to fix it instead?

Some things are completely obvious unless you are unfamiliar, and just hearing you work through this and say "if it reads higher than it should, then it suggests there is a problem with the resistor" really worked for me, and I thank you. Some may laugh at that statement, but I really appreciate the way you just talk your way through these videos (with added text comments wherever needed!) and let us hear your thought processes as you explain how you expect a circuit to work vs what you find as you probe with the meter. I'm not sure you can appreciate how helpful your videos are in enabling people to understand and repair all kinds of electronic equipment, but I certainly appreciate your work and wish you the best for 2023.

The only cost to save this PSU from becoming e-waste was a € 0,01 resistor and one hour of work. Imagine how many poor electronic devices could've been spared from eternal doom if someone cared to have a look at their internals. I enjoyed the clear explanation of how these kind of PSU's work. They don't come with a schematic in the box, unfortunately.

Richard, here's another thought: if you have spillages on any of the motherboards use a bottle with 80% filled with isopropyl alchol and 20% water, why because most spillages appear to be water soluable. Then use a toothbrush to clean it off, better still use a motorized one. Also you could use what is called a flux & boil routine, where you use flux and your heatgun! (I pick my ideas from elsewhere, to help you out.)

Worth noting my own experience of being shocked by the bulk capacitor on the mains side, on one case, I embedded one of those power-brick style PSUs into the workshop wall from how hard I threw it... No thought, just felt pain in my hand where my hand completed the circuit, the next second I see the PSU sticking out of the wall where the heat-sink went in by just under 1cm (prob 5 or 6 mm). Of course, I've had many other electric-shock incidents including building a DIY battery pack and backlight CCFL circuits, etc... Not fun to mess with. Some helpful tips (albeit not the best advice): ATX PSUs typically need full rail mains voltage (90v to 250V AC, 80V to 300V DC) to start switching, though I did have an exception with one that started (Chirped) at 60V, It seems about 40% of the power-brick (Laptop PSUs, typically the 90W or less ones) on average will start up and stay running at full load below 30V, though don't keep the load on it too long, in 4 of the cases I did this, the windings being too anemic on the mains side would overheat and short causing the FET to fry, the other two cases were 5V 4A and 5v 6A bricks that the PFC windings got hot but if I inject 30V into the bulk capacitor, seems to run cool enough at full load. Don't ever try to run an iron-core 60HZ transformer on DC..... Should be obvious why, but I'll say it in case someone didn't know. The lowest I got a Lenovo 90W power supply to start up on was 25V and the point it stopped switching was at a little over 5V. The 120W and above typically need at least 60V or more. Worth knowing if the PSU has screws holding it together and one wishes to use safer voltages to work on them, but worth knowing it's not always the case and that you'll be stressing components (ie. too much current in the primary of the transformer). Edit: Clarification and forgot the number-unit for wattage.

I've sometimes used my bench supply to power the smps controller chip to see if it oscillates (with no AC input) and also sometimes used a transformer from an old amplifier, I think it was about 90V, to power a SMPS. I actually have an isolation transformer on my bench power socket - the one I use for the the device under test - and this also helps make things safer. Isolation transformers can be a bit hard/expensive to find, but most SMPS will work in the range 85V-240V I would recommend anyone living in a 240V region to get a used 110V site transformer - those yellow things that builders and similar tradesmen use - and power the SMPS from that while working on it. This makes it considerably safer. You can pick a high powered one up for about £25-£35 in the UK - these are actually sold prices on ebay www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=110v+transformer&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=ST3+4RP&_sargn=-1%26saslc%3D1&_salic=3&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=60&LH_Complete=1

@@LearnElectronicsRepair I was referring to actually connecting a DC bench supply to the AC input terminals and running the SMPS as a DC to DC converter. The main advantages are lower voltage on the high side and the "hot" ground can be grounded and then a grounded piece of gear such as an oscilloscope can be used for troubleshooting. Of course the SMPS must not have a load on it. I have used this technique when repairing bench type SMPS with regulation, intermittent operation and noise issues - probably not necessary for short circuits.

44:06 - I wanna ask something about power of resistors or diameter, since you found the fault, would it be better to use higher wattage resistors but the same resistance? Since that wattage obviously failed? I think its good to good to use higher wattage resistors.

There is so little current flowing through 40 Mega ohms that even if the IC or capacitor was short it would cause almost no wattage. I think there is something about high value resistors in high voltage circuits that causes them to gradually go high resistance, because this is quite common in valve (vacuum tube) circuits which are also high voltage low current. I honestly don't know the physics of this problem, just how to diagnose it.

@@LearnElectronicsRepair I agree, but if we multiply working hours? How many years then months then working hours we get from PSU? Its natural that all components go crazy over some period.

Great video , I have a question my pc starts there is the powerled and restarts after 1 second , i checked for shorts on the motherboard atx connector but all is good. What could be the problem? Sometimes 1 in 10 times it starts completely and keeps working.

Hi, could you answer a question that is puzzling me? Normal calculation for circuit protection by fuse in plugs 3 pin as per UK standard. Would see a 3 amp fuse in an electrical appliance of 450 Watt.Ref 450 watts divided by 240 volts = 1.875 So why do l find my ATX PSU of 450 watt fitted with a 6 amp 20 mm quick acting glass fuse?
