Asus Digimatrix - help

Hey all, there i was one day sitting there watching a movie and PAH my digimatrix died on me :mad:

i put a volt meter across the psu and it still shows the correct voltage but i know the psu might still be dead. i dont know how im meant to measure if it still has life.

i did open it up and couldnt smell or see any thing to sugguest that anything burnt out on the inside.

what should i do?

Manythanks,

Soogs

ok I think I need to be a bit clearer hehe. its a plug in transformer so its on once pluged it. I put a volt meter on it and it still reads 19v and when shorted it does give a small spark.

the machine does not turn on in any way.

im trying to narrow it down before buying a transformer.

thanks for the sugguestions =)

Does it still output 19v? Those things usually have an internal fuse...

yeah it does still output 19v.

the internal fuse you mentioned... is that in the transformer or the barebone itself?

Cheers

erm well i think the transformer has those security screws on it so i cant imagine it having another fuse after the mains plug... but ill do my best to check that.

I did look in the barebone when it first stoped working and i couldnt see any fuses or anything of the like.

there is no power to anything in the barebone... no fansm hdd, cpu etc
