Compaq PSUs?

alg1a · 6 Nov 2007 at 23:13

My sister has a Compaq Presario 5WV250 with a duron 700 cpu. My question is do these use standard PSUs or not? The reason I need to know asap is because my Niece called me today telling me that the PSU blew when the computer just restarted on its own last night and she does not want her mum (my sister) to know about it. So as a good uncle I've to fix the problem. I have 2 PSUs lying around and unfortunately a PIII mobo with no cpu as well.

Don't remember them being anything odd - but you never know with Presario's - depends on whether the case is some odd shape or not.

Thx for the reply Side, it looks like a standard mini ATX case with a micro ATX mobo. I will be at my sister's house on saturday and I will post to let you guys know how it goes.

It worked, you guys should've seen the smile on my niece's face. By the way I put a 400w zalman and the computer is virtually silent compared to when it had the failing PSU.
