Hi, everyone!
My computer ATX power supply, have been burned caused by a peak of current, I've opened it, and I saw the fuse, it was blown, I have replaced it, but.. when I turned on the power supply, the fuse did not blew, but I've heard a sound like a speaker with some noise. I don't know where that soound is coming, but I watched that the big capacitors, the only two real big, seemed that they have been eaten too much... Because they're a little fat in the top, actually one of them has a thing like paper "leaking" int the top.
My question is does it worth to substitute the capacitors, or even if I substitute the capacitors, may I have to continue substituting components, over and over .... ?
Thanks 4 any help.
Regards, Helder Silva
