Hello,

So a few years back, I purchased an Acer Aspire M3910. The specs on it are as follows...

CPU: Intel i5 650
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 550ti
RAM: 1x 2GB and 1x 4GB (both unbranded)
Motherboard: h57h-am2
PSU: Unbranded with no form factor labled

So my problem is that it will not power on right now. I plug it in and nothing happens (as if it was not plugged in at all). I assume the psu has died as it was taken out of case and left on floor for a few days. I am not too concerned cause it was showing signs of dying already. I have a better PC already so I am not looking to buy a new computer. I just want to buy a new power supply for my old acer so that I have another working PC.

How can i find out what form facter PSU I need? Does anyone know what form facter I need?

Thanks

You may try use the paper clip method to test the PSU, just make sure it is broken, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FWXgQSokF4

The Acer Aspire M3910 is the regular PC, any ATX format PSU should fit into the case. You can use this guide, page 30, to compare your PSU's demention to that. http://www.formfactors.org/developer/specs/atx12v%20psdg2.01.pdf

If it did, you may use the pcpartpicker.com, buy a good brand 80+ 450W/500W PSU, but if you can find the deal for higher wattage one, and get it. If you can post what budget you have, we can find it for you.

Thanks so much for your reply! I will try the paper clip solution when I get home. As for budget, I just want to spend as little as possible whilst still getting a psu that is of good quality. This is for my older PC so I doubt I will be upgrading parts in future.

Thanks again.
