Hi - PC suddenly stopped working after hearing a bang. I replaced it with a 5A fuse, tried to switch it on, heard anther bang. I the turned the back of the PC to face me and replaced another 5A fuse. This time I saw sparks on the back of the PSU and obviously another bang. It looks like it definitely a PSU problem. The PSU is HPC-300-202 230V and 3A and peak load is 300W. I am surprise that the PSY went so quickly as the MTBD is about 11 years and my PC is only just over 6 years old. What is the possible imapct on other components after these bangs.
What are my options
i) Do I just replace the PSU
ii) Do I also need to replace the fan which is CHIEFTEC (D90SM-12), DC12V and 0.19A.
iii) Forget the PC and get a new one as problems could be beyond simple replacement of PSU or PSU/Fan
Your prompt advise is appreciated
