hey all Earlier on today i was doing some mods to my shuttle, cutting a side panel, putting sleeving and spiral wrap on wires, and fitting new zalman vga cooler to grafix card. Having done all this i then put everything back, only to find that nothing happens when i try and power up. Im pretty sure ive blown the psu, because i tried that green wire, black wire trick, and nothing happens but a faint clicking noise comes from inside the psu, near the installed 40mm fan. Also, i think the problem happened when i was using some heatshrink on the cable sleeving; i never sorta realised how hot a hairdryer could get and before i knew it the psu cover was red hot, could i have burned something inside??? thing is, im off to uni on sunday morning, and would really love to go with a working pc. The psu is a shuttle one, from a sn45G. what can i do??? is it done for??
Hmm... Smells like you might have fused the two PSU wires in the braiding somewhere. It's almost definately a short by the sound of it, got another system to test the PSU on?
i doubt its a wire stuk in the fan, as the fan is at the opposite end to the psu to where i was working on. I might have fused a wire inside the psu, at the point where the wires come out of the casing, as this was where the hottest part was. Shall i open the case and see inside what i can do?? problem is this voids the warranty doesnt it and if i do open it up and find a fused wire, do i just unfuse them??
