Has anybody short circuit the wires (Red +5v & Black 0v) in the computer power unit.I did it.....after removing from the computer.It blowed up.& also the main trip switch went off.
Its an ATX 350w Power unit.After blowed I checked inside the power section.Half of the power section was damaged.(from the fuse to 3 power transistors,some resistors,& caps) Luckily output switching section was saved.I wonder why.....
Same it will happen if a hard drive or some other drive short circuit inside the computer.It will blow up.I wonder is it a problem with my power unit or all other power units do the same.?
Not only the fuse in the power unit other parts also getting damaged due to output short circuit.
