Title: Gonna be out of the game for awhile
Post by: 4deck on January 05, 2010, 09:41:36 AM: Turned system on this morning, and my Power supply decided to lose a cap. Sounded like an M80, and scared the hell out of the cat. Bummer.

Cheers

Yep. As long as everything else is intact, it is a relatively quick and easy fix. Lightning took my power supply last year, and luckily nothing else was fried. Took me around a half hour as Shuffler said.
