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 ^^;
