My Antec TPN-650 "exploded"!

From: Man-wai Chang to The Door (24000bps) on 3 Feb 2010 05:01 The Antec TruePower New 650W was bought on 08 Oct, 2009! Smoke came out of the power supply. When I removed it from the case, some light yellow liquid came out. Fortunately, the motherboard was not harmed. So... what could that light yellow fluid be? -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

That might have been the problem and caused a short or something else could have caused the 'explosion' that led to the leakage after the fact. I don't know how acetic the electrolyte is to cause burning. Get a hold of of some litmus paper and you can determine it for yourself. -- Jan Alter bearpuf(a)verizon.net
