bought this power supply last month. its actually nos stock as this model of psu has been around since 2010/2011 or so. been testing it and looks like its faulty. system keeps randomly rebooting suddenly. it also sometimes powers on but doesnt start post and makes the mobo play dead. tested it on two systems and they both do the same thing so its the psu.
wanna ask the members here what they think of the build quality of this psu from the pics attached? note that the pics are from a review site's teardown of the psu off a china website.
i wanna ask if its worth recapping/fixing it? note that it uses lots of junk caps, from "june fool" (as opposed to april fool lol!) caps to cheapo teapos. my guess is that the caps either dried up or the oxide layer degraded to the point of no return from being in storage lying unused for several years until i started using it in dec 2017.
i also hope there is nothing wrong with the apfc circuitry causing the psu to cutoff and rebooting/resetting the system, cuz if the apfc is focked, its gonna be a pain fixing it.
