No Power In ATX Power Supply Solved

By Jestine Yong on June 30, 2013

My friend brought to me his work computer power supply to fix it. When I test the power supply it didn’t work, I mean the fan didn’t rotate.

At this moment, i began open the cover of the power supply, i found a burnt area as shown below . I noticed two open tracks and leaked capacitor with a value 1000uf/10volt.

First I brought my digital Meter and select the buzzer position and test the surrounded components, i found all components were ok except a shorted diode. After i replaced the diode and the capacitor and soldering the open tracks by wires as shown below :

Sorry the photo a bit blur

I connect the power but before i connect the ps_on to ground, I checked the voltage on ps_on which been 4.19 volt as shown below then i connect the ps_on to ground, the power supply back to life. The fan worked well.

I checked the output voltages and all were within range.

5v = 5.27v

3.3v = 3.28v

12 v = 11.85v

-12v = -11.34v

  Dear Saad, AOA
  
  Good job. I want to ask that I have Compaq Power supply but it is still dead. This different than ATX power supply. Have you worked on it. Kindly help me to repair this kind of power supply.

    HI Mubashir,
