Dying Power Supply – Take your rest little buddy.

Dying Power Supply

WorldWide Marketing Limited - EA-400W ATX switching power supply

Just a few days ago I was working on a customers machine and it exhibited the following behavior:

  • Monitor not lighting up
  • Fans spinning
  • Power light on
  • CDROM Drive check completes
  • Hard drives not spinning
  • When touching the tower, getting shocked by the case

Replaced the 400W supply with a Thermaltake TR2 500W Power Supply and all is well again!

Thermaltake has proven to be a reliable brand for everyday computer use.
