If you plug in an ATX PS, and you: #1 Hear a faint, yet high pitched sound coming from it, is it bad? #2: If you plug it in, and none of your 12 volt fans power on, is it a bad PS? |

I disconnected the CD rom, HD, fans, and 3.5" floppy from the PS. The PS is still plugged into the mobo. When it gets plugged in to the wall, I still get the sound. Where could this short be? The mobo to the case? I think a new PS is the best way to go... (Plug in a new one and troubleshoot it that way...) THX ARDunstan. |

If I pull the PS, and plug it in with a fan connected to a 12 volt plug, and it STILL makes the sound, and the fan doesn't work, does this mean that the PS is bad? Is the mobo supposed to not be electrically connected to the case in any way, shape, or form? It seems that it is 'grounded" to the case where the mobo passes through the back of the case to allow wires to plug into the mobo... |
That PS is shot. It should power at least a fan. It doesn't Go to compusa and get a new PS. They're cheap. |
