Default Oh *** Saget?!?!

I just got my new PSU today, installed it and made sure my cable management was to perfection. I had it running smoothly in my new Sunbeam Transformer with 5 LED lights. An hour and a half later, R.I.P. Sunbeam NUUO. I plucked in my old 350 watt and it worked first try. Now I have to pay a bloody $20.00 to get a new one. BLEEP

I got it from xoxide. I have to pay for shipping to send it back ($20.00!!!!!!!!) and I'm just going to forget about it. I'll buy a PSU at my local shop and save myself the time and trouble.

Make sure you sandpaper the hole, and then put some U rubber over it to avoid sharp edges. Put some grease around the newly drilled hole, and then screw your computer, screw it hard. Maybe install some UV lights and turn em up to indicate that your computer is also excited.

Can't you RMA it through the site that you bought it? If you can I would see if they would pay the return shipping. What a let down. I feel for ya man.

BREAKING NEWS ALERT!


I experimented. Instead of having all 3 computers on, I turned one off. It used to be 550 watt + 550 watt + 350 watt =1450 watts on a power bar. With the 350 watt PSU turned off, my sunbeam NUUO turned on! This is exciting news for me, I guess the power bar couldn't take all the wattage. Maybe it's being a weird one and turning on once in a while. I'm going to test it today to see if it's stable. Wish me luck!

Poo. Just when I got my hopes up, the PSU died again. It just fails randomly and won't even turn on again. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and pay for return shipping and buy a seasonic or something at my local store.
