Repairing My Power Supply that Blew Up
Рет қаралды 123,942
Күн бұрынMy bench power supply blew up with a loud "POP". Its time to try and fix it.
This power supply came from my first desktop pc which I purchased from my primary school as a child, before I later converted it into a bench power supply for powering and testing electronics. So it has had over 16 years of use, so lets try and make it last another 16...

You don't need to wait for a whole week for the capacitor to discharge like crt monitors, 15 or 20 minutes is ideal for that. In almost every power supply there is a bleeder resistor hooking parallel with the main cap for safety dischare the remain energy in the capacitor.

No this wouldn't cause an issue. Most power supplies are made to stand up to 85 degrees C. In this case the capacitors are rated at least 105C for typically 2000 hours use before that part's life is spent. His little bench supply use is much less strain than what it was originally made to do.

I have done this about 20 times with power supplies and it has worked 100% of the time. It also works with mother boards.

Nice video but a few flaws. Mainly that no. You dont have to wait a week or more for the caps to discharge. A few houers will work as the esr of the cap will discharge it. Most power supplys also have discharge resistors in them to drain the caps. While yes they can hold a charge. No in most cases they will not hold a charge for motable weeks. 2 you forgot to put the plastic seperator back in. Its there to keep the bord from shorting to the case.

Funny story, so everyone always jokes that I break everything. Well one day, I was going to turn on my brother's PC (he asked me to) and then I walked away. I was talking to my dad (he was also in the room) when suddenly, we here a loud balloon POP. I noticed my brother's PC was off. I tried to turn it back on, but to no avail. My dad (he works well with hardware) took it off of the desk and put it on his working desk, he did a test on his power supply, and it didn't work. He then told me the capacitor failed and that he had to replace the power supply. Thankfully he had a spare.
