Hi all,
Recently came to turn on my PC and there was a bang and accompanying acrid plastic smell.
Stick on PSU blown I think.
It's a Thermaltake Smart Pro RGB 850W Bronze - about a year old.
So now the PC won't turn on but it's clear some power is getting to the mobo as the lights flicker and the AIO tries to turn.
I unplug everything connected and leave it for a few mins - come back, plug it all back in and it fires up like nothing ever happened?
I've seen PSUs blow before but never had one come back from the "dead" ?
Should I be worried or look to replace or has some fuse / switch saved me from something worse?
