Hi, everyone. I was away on vacation for 3 weeks, during which my room was infiltrated by some sort of fungi. There were no signs of fungal growth on my desktop and I figured that it would be ok to turn it on and use it.
Boy was I wrong.
Something inside my desktop sparked and it shut down and wouldnt start on hitting the power. A while later I could smell something burning and immediately took off the wall socket and opened my desktop apart.
My first suspect was the motherboard, since I saw the spark from the top of the desktop. Replaced it, didnt start.
I had a old PSU lying around and I figured that it wouldnt hurt to try it. Viola!! The desktop worked perfectly.
So, I want to know if my dear old Corsair RM850M can be resuscitated and brought back to full health with a little bit of soldering here and there.
Basically, I dont want to give up my long lasting relationship with my PSU and would love to have it fulfill the hole in my life.
