Hey guys, have a power supply for a freeagent external.
When the power supply used to work :
The power supply when plugged into the mains, and is not connected to the drive, used to hiss. If the power supply was connected to the mains, and connected to the drive as well, then no hiss noise.
Now this is the situation:
It recently fell on the floor, and stopped working. I opened it up, the wires on the inductor near the mains input of the circuit had wires broken, so i put them back in place.
I connected it to the mains, no hiss noise, even connected the drive, still no power to the drive.
Opened it again, checked the large capacitor and it was charged, at 160V and was discharging normally. Any ideas? What was the hiss noise i used to hear though?
