    Troubleshooting 2xFailed Cooler Master v650 PSUs

    I have a couple of these PSUs that have the exact same issue on both of them. I find it odd that they both exhibit the same Symptoms.

    When plugged into the PC, the PSUs are able to power the LEDs inside the motherboard (the standby 5v circuit I suppose?) But as soon as the power button is hit, the PSU powers on for a split second, then there is a (relay?) click and the PSU shuts off. Hitting power does nothing after unless the power is removed and then turned on again.

    I have a PSU tester which has the same results. As soon as the tester plugs in, it powers on for a split second, and then there's the click and it's off. Turning off the power switch does nothing. If I remove and replug the 24(?)pin power cable though, it does do the click on and off.

    I opened the PSU and looked inside, but cannot see any signs of failure.
    I noted a relay: 307H-1AH-FC 12V=DC that I believe is making the clicks.

    Any ideas of how to diagnose further?

    check the output diodes - it may be detecting a short circuit.

      Thank you.
      I'm new to electronics repair. Where would I locate the output diodes? There appear to be 4 or 5 diodes on the board.
      Would I need to remove the diodes to test them?

        try to take closer pictures - specially the 2 matching vertical boards

          Thanks so much for your help.
          I've attached some photos from around the board including the vertical boards (I didn't see any diodes around there though). I've taken photos of areas where I can spot a diode

            i think i know what they did.
            check ZD6, check all the transistors bolted to heatsinks,
            get the board out of the shell and see whats soldered to the other side.

            i think they are using mosfets instead of diodes.

              Is it me or does this cap look suspicious?

                Not really...
                You need to start measrunging...
                Try looking for shorts.
                Polymer caps fail that way for example...
