...but it has to be asked.

Fiddling with the other machine. Shut it down. Unplugged a hard drive. Powered it back on.

Bang. Huge spark out the back of the Enermax Liberty great.

So..

It's dead, right?

Has it killed anything else? I happened to be testing my 8800 in it at the time :o

Whats the warranty on these?

Why?! :(
 
Warranty is 3 years.
Assume you have checked the fuse and tried to restart the machine then the chances are it is.

My Enermax went pop 2 weeks before Christmas last year, lucky enough the machine still worked fine.

RMA mine and got a new one the day after originaly sent, can't gfault there warranty dep.
 
This happened with my brothers 620 watt liberty a few months ago, luckily no other components were affected.
 
Im sure you posted asking if your PSU could handle some new components, and every one was telling you it would be fine.

They lied.
 
My Akasa PaxPower blew up a year ago and nothing else was affected. I think with modern PSUs, failure means the destruction of other components on fewer occasions.

Checking fuse now (So thats the warranty voided, lol) and the fuse has been literally blown apart :eek:

I think the previous poster meant check the fuse in the plug not the fuse inside the PSU. I've never seen a fuse explode like that, you sure it's not some other component? How about a pic?
 
Not too long ago my Tagen psu had smoke coming out of it whilst I was gaming, shut down pc bought a new psu as the Tagen was many years old so no change of warrenty there :P good thing everything was still intact.
 
when my hiper died it let out a little bit of blueish smoke and stank the house out, all my other components were fine

bought a corsair and rma's the hiper, when I got the replacement I sold it on the bay for as much as I paid for the corsair
