Picked up an 8100 case with supposedly working psu. Item arrived no power. So thought well why not recap it, it definitely will need it. Still nothing.. sucks that it was sold as working. Any suggestions? |

What ended up being the issue? |

What ended up being the issue? When i recapped it i noticed a resistor that had looked warm at the solder joints. I reflowed the solder but inadvertently broke the trace. After trying and it was dead I checked all my work and that resistor and noticed it moved a little when touched so checked continuity and sure enough the trace was broken. Soldered a leg from radial cap to the place it is supposed to connect to and ahe lived again. |

On a side note, if you ever need a new PSU for a 800/840/8100 there’s this project that @croissantking has made
