Broken PSU?

Jon33 · 13 Jun 2010 at 13:50

Last night my PC just randomly turned off and now it wont start up again. I opened up the case and when the power is connected there isnt even the little light on the motherboard anymore. I've tried plugging the big (24?) pin connector into my brothers PC from my PSU to see if that brings any lights on and it didn't. Would it be safe to say that the PSU has gone? Just need to know before I send off on the warranty.

Cheers

Sounds like it. If you have tested it on your brother's computer, then it's safe to say your PSU you dead.

Yeah, if nothings getting there its generally the PSU. Just check that you may have not knocked the I/O switch at the back before you use the Warranty

Probably worth checking the rest of your PC using your brothers PSU as well (assuming it's compatible) to make sure that nothing else has gone at the same time.

Yeah tried the switch, had a check to see if everything is connected right and still nothing. Thanks for the replies guys sounds like its time to get onto the warranty.

Did it kill anyother components? Use your brothers PSU to check
