Re: PSU may be going bad

2013-04-05 by dutchbeats

moderate use seemed to cure my cs of a few psu symptoms. the last time it wouldn't start up was over two years ago (fingers crossed)

i was in touch with epr electronics and he says if you send in multiple psu's for repair he will only charge the bench fee once which is nice to know

After running for a while, the display starts blinking like the backlight is going out and it keeps saying LoadingÂ…  I opened it up, then opened up the PSU cage, looking for "slightly burned" looking resistors and/or "bulging/leaking" capacitors, but could not find anything - visually it looks fine.

It is tricky because when I needed to work on my plasma TV, the bad capacitors were pretty obvious - slightly bulging on top. But with the CS, I don't see anything that needs to be replaced.
