Hello ltt,
switching on my pc blows the fuse on the wall plug. tried it with another wall plug the second time and it trips the house main fuse.
later found out that power supply's coil insulator were burnt and touching the body of the psu. i took the psu apart and all the caps are looking normal and no electronic burnt smell.
question is:
1) will that coil touching the body cause it to be short circuited?
2) can i replace the insulator with the usual electrical tape?
3) what precaution should i take when messing around with the psu (dont touch the caps? wear rubber gloves? do not use conductive screwdrivers?)?
