    Eru reacted to Ohlyver in PSU coil insulator "burnt"   
    Just to put it here, coils are made of wire ( yeah, pretty obvious) that are isolated by some sort of varnish, instead of a plastic based insulation like most other electric wire/cable..
    If its not shorted to any other wire (be really careful when diagnosing a psu) you could apply some nail polish over the burnt area, a couple layers could do.
    Keep in mind this is only my opinion and I am not an electronic engineer... I got a diploma in industrial electro-mecanic.. I would advice you only look at repairing this psu if you can't afford to buy a new one.

    When you have finished your repair may one suggest you use a PSU tester rather than your rig to see if it works, one would not like to damage any other components.

    Warranty is long gone.
    Its been sitting inside the box for around 2 weeks now so I'm sure its safe to handle. Will do an operation   on it then report back here later. Thanks for the replies!
