PSU Uplorry

[DJSnip3r]

So my Corsair RM650i uplorry when I was doing routine shutdown after using only 5 times. The psu tripped my main circuit breaker when it shut down, then now even the fan test on the psu doesn't work anymore.

I'm worried if any other components got affected, but so far can only test my HDDs and all working.

maybe u send down to convergent for repairs.

Don't use the PSU anymore.

I suggest you get a new PSU and test your system. The refurbished PSU you get from RMA can always be sold.

Hopefully can repair, although might take quite a while

If only your PSU is spoilt, laugh as you can RMA.

If your PSU took out your expensive MB and CPU with it, cry.

If I am not wrong, Corsair don't make the PSU, their sub-con did.

Thought it was the RM650 that was having most issues with them cheap caps and they replaced them in the RM650i/x. Oh well, just suay I guess.

No need scared la. Its heng suay.

People say Seagate death rate is very high and should avoid them (Before they bought over samsung hdd) but I have a 250gb HDD that i've used for almost 10years now without any issues. Now its purely a drive for my cloud storage.

Over the past few months I encountered issues where my cpu will just start up then lose power after a few seconds.

Finally couldnt boot up at all few days back, initially thought is psu problem, heng change CMOS batt gaodim already.

But that was a good scare indeed

So after a trip down to convergent, luckily they have a rm650i so they did a 1 to 1 swap with the broken one I had, now I finally have a working pc

If the replacement disappointed you, then time to look at other brand.
