Death of a Power Supply

Post by lordbinky »

So far I've disconnected the rambo and all hard wired fans completely from the power supply, but I still only get a flicker from my power supply light. I can still go and clean random connectors and verify that dust isn't causing a short, but other than that I think it's really dead. Died mid print. *sigh*

You might just try bypassing the power on/off switch if you haven't already. I had a marginal switch due to heating it up too much when soldering and I had a similar problem. I swapped it with a beefier one and haven't had an issue since.

Good idea, didn't even think of the switch being an issue since it appeared to be doing it's job. If it is... that switch will rue the day it failed me. RUE IT!

Now now Harold.
Never do anything you don't want to have to explain to the paramedics.
