Posted October 2, 2015 When handling electronics of known good quality and when you know what you're doing that's perfectly appropriate. However I absolutely don't trust whatever OP has in his case there, and I also don't know if he knows how to handle these things, so better safe than sorry. Besides, there is no reason to open up the PSU anyway, even if it were safe. Good point.

Posted October 2, 2015 I had a BeQuiet PSU Years ago that died the same way and my Hardware was fine. If you dont have the cheapest china crap, without any protection functions, the chance your hardware get hurt is very low.

Posted October 2, 2015 Probably just a busted cap. You'd have to take apart the power supply to check, though. Open the PSU ?..... :huh: That would be beyond stupid.

Posted October 2, 2015 Tearing stuff apart is the best way to learn. High capacity capacitors were a danger on the old CRT monitors, not on 120v AC to 12v DC stuff. You could have it pluged in to the wall and play with it with your hands wet with salt water and you might get a tingle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
