I built a 1xxx-1 multi for a friend a couple of years ago and he recently complained that his machine was broken. Came by to check it out and realized the boards main atx power supply was dead. No big deal. I have several laying around so figured it would be an easy swap out.
Plug the replacement ATX into the board and then into the wall. Fire everthing else up and the power supply runs for a couple of seconds and then stops. Turn off/on and nothing. I un hook it from then PCB and plug it directly into the wall and nothing. I start to think well maybe that supply was broken. So I grab one of my new/unopened atxs. Hook it up and the same exact thing happens. I've done this now 4 times. 4 new/working atx's have been hooked up and died inside this machine.
I've troubleshooter everything. I've never had one of these ATX's go bad let alone then first time ive plugged them in. I've tried several different power cords and have the same issue. Everything else plugged into then second power supply works fine. Both power supplies are plugged into then same surge protector.
Am I overlooking something? It's strange they just stop working. No popping noise or crazy spark. Just dead. It's driving me nuts. I pulled the PCB and put it into another machine and everything is fine.
Sorry for any typos. Posting this from my phone.
