psu paperclip test

[bigtrak]

As above people went to turn on my computer and for some reason it popped the fuse in the plug,
I had a check inside to see if a lead had came loose or anything else but everything seems fine.
I’ve now Swapped out the fuse and tried it again and this time it tripped my plug sockets in my house!
At this point I unplugged all the connectors in my pc and also checked the fuse again in the plug which this time hadn’t blown,
anyways now I tried the paper clip test on the psu and she’s not firing.
Does this mean she’s gone to computer heaven lol
Or is there anything else I could be missing ?

It’s a Corsair hx650

Popped the fuse in the plug (240v) that plugs into the mains.
And no, no noise smoke cracks pops or anything from the pc itself. Just the actual fuse that blew.

I did test the mains lead with a multi meter.
Must be one of the caps I’m guessing like you said,
Wonder what the chances of getting a replacement if the warranty seal ain’t broke ? Ain’t got the recipes thow.

Not gonna bother opening it up, can’t be bothered to be honest I’ve done all the checks I can from the outside,
Also Don’t want to risk sourcing a cheap Chinese component and it breaking on me again 2 weeks down the road lol.
Going to stick a ticket in to Corsair and see if they knock me back or not.
Can only try
