Repair of the power supply of a computer may be needed in various situations, among which the most common is its burning out due to sudden power surges. Even if your computer has a surge protector or UPS, this does not give a 100% guarantee that the PSU will not burn out. The modern reality is that the voltage in the home network can “accidentally” jump to 400 volts, which even an expensive surge protector will not be able to “hold”. Do not get upset, because the repair PSU computer – a fairly simple procedure that can perform specialists in almost any service center. Just do not try to repair PSU yourself, because without accurate diagnosis of the causes of failure, unqualified intervention can lead to various negative consequences, and you not only can not restore the performance of PC, but also have all chances to just “burn” the motherboard or other hardware.

When may I need to repair my computer’s power supply?
There can be many causes of power supply failure, but the most common are the following:
- Failure after a power surge.
- Natural wear and tear.
- Initially poor quality PSU (cheap Chinese units).
- Short circuit in the internal power circuits.
- Oxidation of the contacts.
External signs of failure are also different – from the lack of response from the PC (the computer does not start) to the sparking and smoke in the system unit with the appearance of a specific smell of burnt wiring (PSU burned out). There are also a number of manifestations, which the PC user will never associate with the failure of the power supply unit. These can be short computer freezes or frequent system restarts. One of the reasons for such strange behavior of the computer may be related to the failure of internal power circuits and reduction of the output voltage. If you ignore these signals and try to “cure” the computer by scanning it for viruses, cleaning registries or reinstalling the system, you can wait until the other components (motherboard, RAM, video card or hard drive) fail. And to restore the machine in this case will be much more expensive than to repair the computer power supply.
Sometimes to cope with the problem it is enough to change the fuse (which burns out most often when the voltage drops), and in some cases you will need to replace the power supply, as it will be unreasonable to make repairs.
