3010 - 3 bad switching power supply

We have 20 Optiplex 3010, bought in 2012.
I recently had the power out in 3 separate units, on a space of 2 months.

Anyone has an idea why a diet would go out and why so many of them would be? (There is no light, when I push the test button)

Is that what I can do to fix a power supply? Is there a fuse in the power supply? Some power supplies in older computers have a fuse, but I do not have a fuse in it.

Thank you

Doug

Honestly, I'd say a normal wear and tear or bad luck?  I have a brand new power SUPPLY Corsair PSU in my computer custom-made who started making noise and its only 4 months :-(

Regarding the fuses etc, if it doesn't have them it would be HIGHLY recommended to just replace the PSU because no user is fixable in these power supplies.  They are slapped together and as cheap as possible, but it may be possible to replace them.  Sometimes the fuses are covered with a plastic/rubber sleeve so that they can be hidden (from some of the ones I've seen).  Just be sure that the capacitors are drained of power and the power supply died worldwide before tinkering with it beyond.

  • Switching power supply issue 301 RSS

    Hello

    So I have a podcast on the iTunes store, which currently has a feedburner feed and pulling the MP3s from an Amazon AWS account.

    All episodes are now also hosted on SoundCloud so I want the iTunes and Feedburner, feed to point to the SoundCloud RSS like this will obviously save me money on my AWS account.

    I added the tag to my current xml, but before I download that for the server that both iTunes and feedburner watch I don't know there is something else I need to do, like set up a 301 (which I do not know how!)

    I'm also not 100% on this wise backend operation.  When someone accesses the old RSS feed it will just point their SoundCloud RSS as well which means that all future episode downloads and will come from there?  Then I can remove the current episodes of AWS and only add new to SoundCloud?

    Thank you very much

    If the iTunes store using the Feedburner and streams that feed pulls its information from another stream. and you want to change the original feed to another as the Soundcloud food, you don't need to enter the new-feed-url or 301 redirects. All you need to do is tell Feedburner to use the stream from Soundcloud. So the next time that the bank check supply - usually a few days or more - she sees news feed via Feedburner.

    The new-feed-url method is necessary only when the flow of the iTunes Store is actually being used needs to be changed. A 301 redirect behaves in the same way, but is only possible when you have control of the server. If you add the new-feed-url tag to flows that FeedBurner is currently using it will redirect the store and all the subscribers of the Feedburner feed and streams referenced in the tag. You should not add this tag (or delete if you added it) If you want to go on the use of Feedburner.

    If the Feedburner feed is currently using a food to which you are happy to continue to use, all you need to do is change the URL to the media file of each episode to the new URL. This also applies if the current stream is built directly in Feedburner.

    Each episode must (although she can't) contain a "guid" tag which is a unique identifier for the episode. If you move to another stream that you if possible keep the same tags 'guid' to your episodes, although very likely you will not have sufficient control to do this. In this case, your subscribers will see old episodes as a new episode and might well find themselves download again, according to their parameters. There is no way round this if the 'guid' tags have changed.

    You shouldn't remove anything of AWS until you are sure that the store has evolved to the use of flow Feedburner modified. If you add a new episode to the modified food, but not to the former, which appears in the store (not only for subscribers) as soon as you are sure to close the AWS account.

  • Replacement of power supply Acer M3985

    Hi guys, my acer M3985 just food fried last week I need your advice what power supply should I choose I do not know if a high quality such as corsair or other brands would fit... any ideas what should I do?

    Your proposed replacement seems fine to me (assuming that it meets the requirements of power as noted finlux - more power = less stress). Your current power be 300W or 500W according to specification. The image of newegg shows the power supply upside. In Acer, there the fan down and the outlet to the left. Switch POWER supply power switch is the insulator and would normally be left at any time. PC normal power would be the front switch as you do now. It should be a straight replacement.

  • Bad power supply?

    HP A1150Y.  When I plug my power supply in my motherboard light at the back of the PSU goes off and nothing happens.  Ths would be something else than to a bad power supply.  I blew a video card one day while I was at work.  I came home and pc was switched off and could not turn it off.  Open upward and the fan had blown completely off the map.  Must have got too hot.  So are unable to turn it on and noticed the light spinning when I plugged it in.  All thoughts.

    Thank you

    Bought the new power supply and problem solved, only to encounter another problem lol.  Thanks for the help, start a new post new problem.  Thanks again.

  • Fried computer due to the bad power supply

    We did not have the computer turn on the correct voltage (it was about 120 instead of 220).

    What are the possible problems we will encounter?  Yes, the computer does NOT work.

    And what options do we solve the problem?

    It was a gaffe. I changed the switch, then my husband - lack of communication. It's a new computer desk-never used - Yes a Christmas gift for my son.

    And what is the best place to try and get a new power supply?

    Since it is a forum in the world...  The best place to get a power supply depends on where you are.

    How to determine what to...?

    Well, if this is a new machine, those you purchase contact and see if they have one, they will do out trade / sale you that will work in your machine model.  In this way, you KNOW you are getting the right feed...

    Otherwise, you will need to either take the power on (noting where everything happens so you can put a new) and take it to a shop selling things to get a replacement (large stores area, a small computer specialty store, etc.) or you will have to take the system with you and let the store that you buy to do it for you.

  • Can I switch from a graphics without a new power supply on the Pavilion p6120t?

    Have your desktop Pavilion p6120t with power supply 250w... I was wondering if any of "recommended" card graphic 512 MB (GeForce G210, Radeon HD4350 and nVidia GeForce GT 120) would be OK with 250 watts?

    MC, I would be very skeptical about upgrading the video card without upgrading the PSU.  250W POWER simply do not have the power to run a more powerful video card.

  • HP Elitebook 8460p: is my power supply dead/dying?

    OK, so for Christmas, I got a HP Elitebook 8460p. Everything was fine, except that on the 3rd day, something terrible happened.

    Day 1 (Christmas): the laptop set up, new installation of Windows 7. Minor only freezes occor all seconds for half a second about. "Upgrade Bay" does not work, made just 2 short grinding noises when closed after opening

    .

    day 2: even freezes. That night, I run a disk check before going to bed. (Don't ask me what are the results, because I fell asleep during the test)

    Day 3: incredibly slow Windows now. Starting about 15 minutes, and answers may last from 1 to 5 minutes, never even.

    Symptoms: my HARD drive light is constantly on, however I ran many tests my self and even the player was tested for possible errors and he spent everything. Running Windows from a disk external DRIVE is fine and going at normal speed (for an external that is). When I push the switch down to close the laptop, there is a sharp wail (only half a second). My internal battery cool and is holder of a load at normal speed, only when the internal HARD disk needs accesed for anything on any platform, it's very very slow.

    What I tried:

    Defrag: Windows disk shows the fragmentation of 27%, however any attempt not to defragment that lead to progress stuck at 0% defragmented.

    SeaTools: Spent Seatools smart test.

    Reseting BIOS: BIOS reset by using the option in the BIOS.

    Store testing: took the laptop computer to the store and paid $20 for them to test, it passed all tests.

    Auditor of Windows errors: found mistakes (I've marked recovery of bad sectors and fix file system errors) and fixed (I have this on the external HARD drive that was running windows 7).

    If this is not the power supply, I have no idea of what is more. Assistance to access the drive HARD internal from the external windows copy is still slow, so there is nothing to do with the problems of corruption or OS driver I know. If you need more technical info let me know. I really don't care about the short freezes more, I just want to be able to use my new laptop if anyone can help me identify the problem I love them. I'm just suspecious of the PSU now because of her crying when being cut.

    Well, after reciving absolutely no help on this subject, I finally concluded that my HARD drive is indeed bad. I took it on my laptop, it was hooked up to my office, it's still slow respondent (although a little faster) and the HARD drive is also still on. The only reason why I come back to this post is someone else do it who is having these symptoms:

    -HARD disk always turn on.

    -HARD drive passes all the tests.

    -Great answer/access times (for me, it would take an hour or more just to get windows 7 booted up and logged).

    -No real lag, just windows waiting on the HARD drive.

    -Crazy waiting for HARD disk defragmentation time (Mine was going to take a week + and there by about 33% fragmentation)

    -Small amounts of offset or "stutters / hiccups" than occor all few seconds (about once every 3-4 seconds for me) (this applies only if the HARD drive worked before).

    -A small, short, high-pitched shrill when the computer is forcibly stops using the power button.

    My HARD drive exposes all of these symptoms. If your HARD drive is having these same questions, sorry to say, but you'll probably have to get a new HARD drive or get an SSD. The good news is that HARD drive prices have fallen since SSD majorly became public.

    42 people have seen this post but not one bothered to even try to help. I am very disappointed.

  • HP Pavilion p6-2: problems on blocking down after I installed the new power supply on a p6-2207ep

    Hi all

    B4 explaining my problem, I really don't know if I should post this in office, or material in this section of the freezes/crashes/locks but since I posted in freezing section and no results I decided to try here.

    My pc: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c03382032

    I bought a new PSU: XFX TS 550W 80PLUS BRONZE for the GPU upgrade 380 R9 I was planning to do.

    Is there some BIOS I get HP for this cause of power supply from what I read, if I not only one of the things like manufacturer reset to the factory settings may stop working... Currently, my Bios version is 7.11...

    Problems with the new power supply:

    When I closed windows 7, the first problem, the picture freezes on the screen that says "blocking windows down", I waited a bit and nothing, tried to turn off the machine while keeping down the power button but nothing to disable directly in the rear switch of the PSU...

    Second time happened a little different soomething, seconds after freezing again on the screen that says "blocking windows down" windows actually turned off and the screen is off but everything inside the computer case continues to flow fans in light of the power button / stop and was also able to close by keeping pressed power button...

    When I restart the computer, to which some time stops, and only after a few seconds, it turns...

    Also tried the GPU with the new PSU fans worked but no entry in the screen that I guess just a power supply problem.

    ATM, I'm RMA waiting to know if it is a power supply defective or not...

    Problems after the reinstallation of the original material:

    Some of the same problems when I got the new PSU remained namely:

    Windows actually stop and the screen is off, but everything inside the computer case continues to flow fans in the light of the button on / off and was also able to close by keeping the power button...

    When I restart the computer, to which some time stops, and only after a few seconds, it turns...

    What I've done so far to try to fix the problem:

    Restore windows 7 to a b4 point the hardware installation.

    Reset the BIOS

    Hard reset

    Clean boot

    Do you have a full checkdisk which means 0 KB in bad sectors...

    A complete hardware checked all tests with the HP software

    A system file check everything beautiful

    What I fear most is a faulty PSU that may have caused damage to my equipment mainly the motherboard, but could be something else entirely.

    Maybe I need a specific BIOS for that motherboard / PSU combo, but after returning to the source material, the problems remained.

    What I can do because I can only make the software tests since I don't have an extra PC to test the parts...

    Hello

    Disconnect all external devices except the keyboard and mouse when you try to solve the problem.

    Disconnect the PC and removed the CMOS battery.  Press and hold the power for 30 seconds.  Now, replace the CMOS battery and plug the PC give a TI a go.

    Your PC is not stable enough to make a BIOS update. Do not attempt to use the graphics card XFX until your PC is stable enough to make a BIOS update.

  • Power supply question - amber LED flashing - Dimension E520

    So, I'm working on the dust removal and re - install windows on a machine. I've done dusting, but now I have problems with a LED flashes orange. The system will not top all - fuel without fans or beeps.

    After looking through some posts for ideas, I think it is a bad power supply or a problem with the heat sink.

    I think power because this seems to be a common problem. How can I test the existing? Is there a way to fire unless it is connected to the motherboard?

    The reason why I am wary of the heatsink is that I removed it when I was doing the dusting. I had the intention of fire tonight and get a new thermal paste in the coming days. Since then, I have read that this could be a recipe for frying the total CPU and I wonder if the machine is not pulled up like a check for free preservation any.

    It detects if I removed the heatsink? If it's happening, it will automatically detect when the new thermal paste is in there? Or is there a reset procedure any?

    Any help would be great. Thank you!

    As a side note, the design of this box is poor. I can't find some way to dust effectively the heatsink without removing it from the central unit. Supply openings do not match, so you cannot blow a good flow of air through the box.

    A flashing orange switch LED means that the computer is under voltage, but a power problem internal may exist.

    This may indicate a bad diet

  • Reference Dell GX620 Power Supply Question

    What's up guys, I'm new here, and earlier this month my school made me a job on time partial like the public library IT Assistant, because I took IT out classes at my high school. I'm 18, and I know a little about computers. My question is, one of our computers at the library, a GX620, the power supply of the machine went wrong and that we have at the back of the library are detached power supplies for GX520, I asked my professor of computer SCIENCE at the school if it would be prudent to go and try to install the GX520 power in the GX620, but I'm still not sure if it will be a sure idea It would cause a fire? He would burn something inside the PC? My COMPUTER teacher told me to check the amps and volts on feeding 620, and I checked, the GX620 power supply has a maximum of 275 WATTS, while feeding GX520 has a maximum of 220 WATTS, is completely switch the GX620 bad diet, with the GX520 spare?

    And you know that the PSU is bad, how... ?

    First, you will need to know if the spare GX520 PSU's for the same (Tower, Desktop, small, ultra compact) form factor as the GX620 before you can even think to use it because if the form factor of the PC is different, it cannot even between.

    There is a block of POWER W 220 here that says: it adapts GX520 both GX620 Desktop. But if you do not have a GX620 Desktop, this power supply may be a bit low power if the original was 275W.

    That said, you can get a power supply for the GX620 here for less than $30, depending on the form factor. If your existing GX620 power SUPPLY PSU 275W, it seems you might have a small GX620 form, based on the specs of the PSU indicated on this page.

    BTW: Please delete the telephone number of your post. This is a violation of the terms of the forum to use to post personal information, not to mention that it is never a good idea to post personal information in any open forum.

  • With Tecra750DVD power supply problem

    My laptop recently decided to refuse to turn on when I turned on. There is a yellow light in the position of "power" over the front of the machine, but it won't start. I tried all the options: Power Supply Unit only, only battery, Power Supply Unit + battery and nothing works. Fuse is good in the plug of power supply. Battery is less than 12 months.

    Hello

    You can remove the battery completely when problemshooting this kind of predicament.

    First of all - what impression the power button? Does it feel as it should? Refers to how it used to feel? If this is not the case, check if there is an active "lock" behind it.

    Some models have a safety lock to keep the machine from accidentally start in a bag or two.
    Please look at the LED that indicates that your adapter is connected. When you try to switch the machine on, what is happening with this LED? Always the same fixed green light or suddenly out or flashing?
    If out, please try to get your hands on another adapter (borrow prefferably). If it flashes then try to remove the AC adapter, remove any option that can be easily removed, CD/DVD, memory, expansion card PC and so on.
    Try to restart it (remember to join HQ again). Even? If Yes, then sorry to say I think that your machine needs service. If this isn't the case, then there could be hope.

    Disconnect the AC and put back in place the units that you have deleted before, one by one and after each unit, try to restart the machine.
    If it starts fine, remove the unit and reconnect the next unit. Perhaps you will find that there is a problem with an external device (memory, CD, PC Card and so on), then at least you can continue working more or less as before the problem.

    Good luck

    Of course, this processor and ram are good for the game, as I have seen online videos of people playing bf4 and crysis 3. I also want to play these games and cs: GB and dirty bomb and dragon age.  I don't really like playing high heat, the middle is fine for me.  I really want to get a r9 x 270 BC, they are in a large part to the best buy right now.  I will also buy a 650W power supply to go with it. My boyfriend is a geek and can install it for me. I took action, and I can fit such a graphics card or the gtx 660, in my case. [cards that are 10 x 4]

    However, I saw in another post that my motherboard has a connector 4-pin. Is this bad? The website says that my motherboard can support up to an i7 uprade!... So why not other new powerful pieces such as a GPU or a power supply.  I get that HP does not have computers for games. Why would they do a motherboard that can run an i7, but not an equally powerful GPU. I get that HP does not have the gaming PC, but those of office. However, it is the PC in my family study, so I'll try to make it work.

    Another way is for ma to get the GTX 750, because this card has a minimum required 300w power supply.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814487024

    However, a person in another forum said that HP uses cheap power supplies and will not have enough tension on the 12v rail. is this true?  If this way works, I definitely don't go this way as it is easy... also no need external with this map of power cord. However, if my power supply does not have enough Volts on the 12v rail, so I'll just take the graphics card I want and needed food.

    It's really frustrating me because I played some very old games [rtcw, and] with friends on teamspeak at night and my integrated graphics card could handle, but now they are turning on modern games that I can't play and I reallly want to understand this before you go and spend a lot of money. Thanks for any response.

    A: I definitely recommend that you try the EVGA GTX 750 Ti.  I read a lot of good things about it.  It does not all the connectors extra power on the power supply.  Regarding the PSU in HP computers is lousy, the fact is that they install the power supply that is compatible with the OEM components.  Even if their computer can be upgraded, they design that enable out of the box.  You can try with the current 300W PSU, but if it does not work, I suggest you buy a power supply at least 500W; 600W would be even better for futute upgrades.

  • Xw4400: I replaced the power supply in my xw4400, always beep

    Hello

    My power supply died a week ago.  I know because she gave me a code 4 sound.  I followed the troubleshooting instructions, and when it is connected with all the cables disconnected, the fan does not turn.  Thus confirmed dead.

    I got the new power supply today, and I plugged it in with no cable attached.  The fan spun.  Power has confirmed the good.

    However, when I put back in place and turned on, I got the code of four beeps again.  Does this mean that my motherboard is fried?  And if so, where the Board of Directors is the id so I can order another?  I have the dual core intel cpu if that helps at all.  Not the extreme, just the duo.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    After I plugged in a monitor, I doscovered that the computer was in the way of the message and then affected by the thermal shutdown.  Replacement of the entire radiator and fan made me a work computer.

    The problem was a bad video card.  For some reason, nor Council picked up the problem.
