Wondering if anyone has done this or ever had the rocker switch fail?
I replaced my Seasonic X-650 a while back with a 650w Platinum due to it failing, when I say failing, what had failed was the Rocker Switch, the switch was acting up and stopped working.
I am considering replacing the power switch if I can find the correct model, simply so I can use the PSU in a low power build that gets occasional use, it had an easy single GPU life, HD-4870, Twin Frozr 7950, EVGA 1070 within two systems, an old LGA775 Q9550 and Haswell 4770K system. Nothing complex, your standard air cooled couple of drives builds.
The PSU is remarkably clean with little dust showing the fan rarely seen action as the PSU was never really under any duress during it's use, if anything that PSU rocker switch was used a little too often as I had a habit of using it every time I used the PC. Seems a shame to bin it when it never missed a beat and might well give a couple of more years with a new power switch.
Any suggestions or advice?
