*notices your buldge* OwO what's this https://computerfairi.es/media/h4K4GebESK96nZ9ligY
do i try to recap this supply and continue to use it or
@squirrel I'd give it a shot if you've got the capacitors easily available
@troubleMoney i think so yeah because i bought a bunch to try and recap that broken pvm
@troubleMoney but the thing is idk if new caps are just gonna blow again because the rest of the psu is bad
@squirrel I'd say give it a try anyway, if it works with the new caps then you've saved a lot of effort, if it doesn't then you're out a few caps at most
@troubleMoney my worry is more like
i've already had another specimen of this very psu (it outputs a single molex plug, meant to power a drive externally) explode in my paws before
i cracked this one open with my bare paws after it was failing to power up a hard drive and found the bulged caps
i don't wanna destroy drives cause the psu powering them explodes again ^^;
