PSU failed

Hi all,

My Corsair AX750 psu failed, must have happened last night, because this morning pc was dead when I pressed the power button

OCUK have given me an RMA number, but before I send it off, as a final check is there anything I can check to make sure It's truly dead? I have swaped the plug fuse over, tried the MB power button but nothing. I have not fans, HD, lights etc...nothing works.
Also, I'm being told that it could take up to 28 days to be sorted out; no pc for that length of time... :eek:

anyone else experienced a Corsair psu return how long did it take for you?
Tempted to go and just buy another one but that's a lot of money...

Thoughts

Regards

You could try the jump start test?

Also, you post is in the wrong forum.

Have you removed the PSU from the system and shorted the green wire on the 24 pin connector with a black? You may need to add a fan or something to givbe some kind of load to get this to actually work. If the PSU fails to start then it is totally dead. If the PSU starts up and powers the fan then it is not totally dead.

You could try the paper clip test to see if its completely dead. Obviously disconnect everything connected to the psu then if it spins up you know it's something else. I think it's the green and any black pin on the 24pin motherboard power cable you have to have touching through the use of the paper clip.

Edit beaten to it just shows how slow a typer I am on a phone.
