Question I can't fix it because... (asus thor 850W)

[Jacek80]

Does anyone have a diagram, board view etc. for the Asus Rog Thor 850W 80+Platinum power supply or know what the integrated circuit should be here? I bought one damaged, but the previous owner removed it. Everything else fixed, only this chip left. Asus Technical support and other, does not want to help. I couldn't find anything else on the internet 🙄

Not likely to find detailed schematics anywhere. And part procurement would be nearly impossible after the fact.

Unless you know what you are doing, PSU circuitry is best left to professionals. (Really not worth the time either, they are relatively cheap to replace)

Rather odd. I wouldn't think many of the ASUS PSUs would be old enough to be out of warranty. But once it has been damaged in that way, yeah, that wouldn't be covered.

And, in any case, no pictures are able to be posted here (site policy), so nobody can even see the images. You would need to link to an image-hosting site such as Imgur or Postimage.

Unfortunately, this was not a good idea. Buying and repairing damaged PSUs, which are a safety part, is only appropriate for someone with significant expertise; basically, anyone who needs to ask basic information on how to fix a PSU probably doesn't have the requisite knowledge base to safely do it themselves.

Even an expert would be hard pressed today, obfuscated chips, and the like. Multi-layer boards can be very tricky to reverse engineer. Salvaging the power stages for some other project would be more reasonable. Getting a basic PSU control board/project and using the high voltage side and DC-DC converters in there to 'build your own' power supply would be pretty enlightening.

Anyone with the skills to repair electronics with parts missing would be commanding at least $50/hour in employment, with contract/consultant rates between $200 and $350 an hour.

The Asus looks like new and the damage was not difficult to locate and remove. I repair electronics for many years and this is my hobby. I did not expect the power supply to arrive with the chip removed. The rest of the parts cost me $5 (new Asus costs $250),

It's a Seasonic Focus Platinum platform so maybe ask Seasonic.
