Re: Repair ATX power supply

Throw it away. At this point, not only will it cost more to replace
all the bad parts than buying a new spare supply, you're likely to
never repair it as many other things can blow, and if you fail to find even
a single one and replace it, they may all blow again instantly.

It's more an exercise in troubleshooting and repair than anything.. If I
wanted a spare I would buy one..

Also, if I can repair a $30 power supply, the same basic skills should apply
to a $200 power supply.. you wouldn't just throw it away and buy a new one
then.. (doing component level repairs is an an extra skill I'd like to teach
myself)
