Hi everyone,
I am having a lot of trouble with my SMPS.
From past couple of weeks my PC is not starting right away after I turn my UPS on, I think it is a capacitor taking longer time to charge, what say? I think it might be the SMPS capacitor(but again I don't know much).
Also My SMPS fan makes a lot of nice initially(audible even in other rooms)....Is there a electronic-reason for it? Or is Mechanical problem?
I blew up a SMPS about 8 months ago. I think I wud attempt a repair myself.
The SMPS blew when I unwittingly changed the Voltage selector switch postion to 110 V from 230 V. A lot of fume came up after a hissing sound and a lot of hot fluid, which I think was the capacitor dielectric. So at this time I am thinking, I have only one blown capacitor..I opened it and found only one capacitor seemed to have its packing blown, everything else seemed alright.
Cud there be any other component that might be damaged?
Any advice?
Recca.
