Hardware Forums - View Single Post - Need some advice on opening a PSU. (Fixing laminations iron mesh in transformer)

Dwarfer · 23-07-2008, 09:26 AM

Hello, I've done some research on my humming psu and its because the laminations of the iron mesh in my transformers have come loose and vibrating as the polarity changes.

If i open the PSU up could I do something to the transformers (like sort of put a bit of pressure on the iron mesh to firm them up) - as a try?

I'd get it RMA'd but I would like to skip that as I've swapped a lot of stuff with them and they're very mad with me.

Thanks
