Hey 

 

I've got this RM 650 powersupplie laying around for quite some time now. 

I replaced it with a regular corsair because it failed me.

 

I have tried the paperclip test which fails, however i do hear a click sound.

Anyway are there any useful webpages out there where i can diagnose the problem.

If it doesn't power on with "paper clip test", there is nothing you can do, if you never repaired a switch mode psu.

Curious... What's a "regular" Corsair when an RM is not considered "regular"?  LOL!

When you paper-clip the PSU, what do you expect to happen?  Because the PSU has a zero-RPM mode, I hope you're not expecting the fan to spin.

 

Also, that PSU had a 5 year warranty (at least... can't remember if it was actually 7 or not).  Why didn't you do an RMA when you first thought you had issues?
