Hi
I have 2 faulty Corsair PSUs. I'm using a $10 power supply tester that has been shown to work with another working PSU.
One PSU is an AX850 Gold and the other a TX850.
The AX850 does not fire up the tester at all. No fan, nothing. Whereas the TX850 will start up the tester, but fail after about 30 seconds or so. The fan does not spin up on the TX850 either.
Is it worth trying to repair these 2 PSUs? I'm thinking that the TX850 is shutting down due to overheating, as it will power up again after letting it sit for a few hours.
I paid money for the AX850 (about $50 or $60) but the TX850 was a freebie. I'm personally thinking of e-wasting them.
