Why SMPS is damaged?

The failure of an SMPS, in most of the cases, is because capacitors lose their properties over time. As the ESR increases the ‘losses’ inside the capacitor become greater and thus the temperature in the capacitor also rises causing the effect to accelerate.

What are the symptoms of SMPS failure?

1. Remove the connections that are connected to motherboard from SMPS.
2. Use a paper clip and bend it in U shape. Locate the green and select any one of the black wire of the bigger connector.
3. Connect the Power cable and Power on the SMPS.
4. The SMPS Fan Will Spin, if it is working.

How can I repair SMPS?

How to Repair the SMPS Circuit.

1. Remove the mosfet from the PCB and check it with a multimeter.
2. Without any doubt you will find the mosfet being the faulty component, so you can quickly go for a replacement of the same using a correctly matched mosfet.

How do you troubleshoot SMPS?
