Well, the P/S went out right when it was unmounting at the very end of |
| 16 |
the shutdown process. I had one file system that it had to replay a few |
| 17 |
things when I rebooted. It was a close call since the file systems that |
| 18 |
wasn't unmounted was not a critical one. |

I did replace the P/S with a new one tho. After getting the rubber band |
| 21 |
off the fan, I did check to see if it would boot up but it just sat |
| 22 |
there. I took it back apart and one of the transistors had a burnt |
| 23 |
spot, actually, it was a diode. Since when those things burn out they |
| 24 |
are basically not repairable, I just got a new one locally. I plan to |
| 25 |
get a permanent replacement from newegg soon. The P/S I have right now |
| 26 |
is a A-Open or something. It was all they had. I did notice that the 5 |
| 27 |
volt rail is higher than the other P/S's I have had before tho. This |
| 28 |
one is at 4.97 volts where it is usually 4.91 or something. |

You are right about burning out other components tho. I have had two |
| 31 |
P/S's to burn out in this one rig. So far, nothing else hurt. I have |
| 32 |
some good luck I guess. |
