EVGA NEX650G power supply detecting a fault on startup.
Hello guys and girls, I bought this power supply about 5 years ago, l had it 2nd hand. it's been a good little unit up until yesterday when my pc turned off unexpectedly.
I took it apart today thinking bad caps are to blame however it all looks ok in there, not even much dust, I guess that filter is worth it after all.
I plugged it into the mains as you do while its guts are exposed all over the table and shorted the green wire to the ground potential and noticed the fun briefly spin.
I think I'm correct in assuming the microcontroller is detecting a malfunction on the secondary side hence stopping the secondary side from powering up.
I can't see any obvious problems, no magic smoke was released when it stopped working, there wasn't even a bang or a pop, it was like someone just cut the power.
I don't suppose Evga has released a schematic on this power supply?
Only stdby voltage present due to its fault state.
