Power Supply Units (PSU's) are the beating hearts of electronic devices. Buying a cheap power supply is a sure ticket to frying any device. As a professional in the electronic sales and purchases I have seen far too many times clueless people buying a $1000 PC with a $20 PSU, only to see it burn months later at the first voltage drop. |
They matter not only for PC's! Cheap devices purchased from China (websites e.g. 1688.com) come equipped with TERRIBLE power supplies, barely working, minimum cost - these not just break but START FIRES and MAY EXPLODE! Buy your electronics from reliable stores (bonus points - if MADE IN THE US OF A) and always check for a certified power supply and/or (rechargable) batteries. |
First of all, check the power supply. You can see if it looks burnt, but most electronic failures won't be noticed by a layman. Is your PSU blacklisted? If so, case closed. Next time you'll build a better PC.
IF YOUR PSU IS WHITELISTED ----- only then you can email me at joshua.ratbergstein@hotmail.ca, I can try to help for $40 + $20/hour - include pictures of the OPEN PC case with the PSU labels visible (mind I don't download emails over 2MB so split it if need be). I work 9-5 Sun-Thu (ET).
