The PSU to my Amiga 2000 just blew up again - that is twice in one year (after replacing it with another 300W PSU from Mr Hardware Computers). I was wondering, what does that mean? This time, after 'shutting down', I heard a pop sound and then a horrible burning smell...
you are very unluck :-)
300 watt PSU are enought to run a small car for children. :-)
Probably your new PSU has a problem in the shoutdown "very complex" component . . .a resistor.
If it is too low in OHM, this acts a stress on the big capacitors when it is trying to discharge them.
Now or replace it with an higher resistance one (PAY ATTENTION:only if you know what you are doing) or replace the PSU with a standard AT one.
