There is nothing wrong with opening a PSU or monitor for service techs... you MUST have the relevant Electrical registration to open up/repair PSU's I'll assume this repair is more of a challenge, rather than a worthwhile endeavor given its age & value. Its going to be hard if you dont have easy access to spare RAM & PSU . See if you can borrow RAM & PSU from another PC. Some m/b's/vid cards just go bad, faulty caps arnt allways obvious. RAM tests dont allways show faulty RAM unless its really bad. But a reload would be a good option to try. If you can load Win with any crashes, well thats allways a positive sign. :-) |

| 1169122 | 2011-02-02 04:05:00 | If they want to repair them as their job then yes, but I am saying that being taught not to open a PSU is silly. They should be taught how to open them safely if they want to, to be careful, and not do anything silly. Knowing what is dangerous and how to safely discharge a capacitor is going to be much better information for someone than "don't open it" - because like me, some people are just going to open them anyway, and knowing how to do this safely is a good thing. |

| 1169123 | 2011-02-02 04:25:00 | for service techs... you MUST have the relevant Electrical registration to open up/repair PSU's Yes. legally. I have opened one or two but never done much other than swapped a fan in one once. Not for a customers. And I have been zapped by a PSU once too. All my muscles vibrated for hours after...... |
