i want to tear mine open (broken) but i dont want to get shocked. i just wanna know if i open it will there be energy in the capaciters that can shock me?
@TheAussieRepairGuy Just some information for people that have one laying around and want to use it as a 12v power source for hobbies like RC charger, car radio and many more
Hi, nice video. I wonder how many X-Box power supplies have the same fan problem!!!!! Where is the video clip where you tested the power leads, what part of the plug is connected to what. Have you one of those elcheepo component testers? Although they are cheap, they are a good go/no-go tester. You could still have a faulty capacitor, just the ESR is to high. If you have 5V then the SMPS is 90% working. I'd tackle ALL the caps on the low voltage side.
The two outer shields are the high current 12v connections, one of the inner small pins is 5v, sharing ground with 12, and another I assume is a sense/communication wire. The owner of this supply isn't big on paying for repairs, as thus I'm not terribly interested in spending a lot of time repairing it. cost of replacement is far cheaper than cost of my time.

Leave it sit for a couple of days first, they have bleed resistors across the caps.
alright thank you @@TheAussieRepairGuy
12v is on a switch, 5v needs to connect to sense for 12v to activate
Ty, much like an ATX supply.
This video is quite old though. I haven't handled another one since, and likely won't.

what do you mean it is a sense cct? What do I do with the 5v lead to activate the 12V part? @@alexteixeira27
