Power supply button keeps flipping back on

[Ponylover]

Hey,

I was troubleshooting a problem I have with my graphics card and when I plugged the power cable back to my psu I heard a weird noise. Ever since the psu power button is stuck in the "ON" position and I can't turn it off that way...

 

Tried removing the power cable before switching it off with no luck..

 

PSU: Thermaltake SMART 750W 80PLUS BRONZE

 

Anyone familiar with this nonsense?

I mean I could understand if this is a surge protector which you couldn't turn off, only reset... but this is a PSU.

 

Their manual wasn't very helpful and is stupidly sparse. There's no danger to just unplugging the power cable before switching off the PSU however.

Doesn't that indicate something is wrong with my psu?

And maybe the long beep and 3 short beeps I got when turning my pc on could've been the psu and not the graphics?

It's junk anyway. Time to replace it.

Yes, from the first day you bought it. Bad quality, bad protections, bad performance.

Yep.  It's broke.

 

Happens sometimes.  Especially if you flip the switch on and off every day (which you shouldn't).   Sometimes, I big enough spark from inrush can actually melt the plastic.

 

The latch that holds it in the off position is just plastic.  When you push it to "on" it snaps that plastic over another piece.  Think of how a mouth harp works.  LOL!  The spring pops it into the on mode because they don't want a broken switch to prevent you from using your PC at all.

Probably just broke on the inside, nothing much to do. Also as said that PSU should be upgraded since it isn't so high quality, nice mobo btw running same

Did it 3 times that day just to remove and reseat my graphics, but haven't touched it in months before that

I guess Ill just deem it broken and replace it and hope it solves the issue
