Left my Computer on hibernate last night and when i switched it on this morning nothing happened. Looked round and noticed the television was off but room's the light was on. Looked at the consumer unit and one have the trips had gone.
Tried flipping it back but it kept tripping, so went back and switched the computer off on the wall and reset the trip which worked, so its definitely the PC
Anyway i tried replacing the 13A fuse but this has not worked and I suspect something more expensive has gone. No fans are turning and the motherboard light is out.
Could it be shorting? the cabling isn't exactly tidy in there or is it more likely that somethings just gone
My PSU was a Corsair TX620 which I have had for 3-4 years and I thought was a good brand.
All comments welcome
Small Update:I have removed the PSU and there is something inside rattling about. That only tells me the PSU failed I hope it did not spread any damage any further
