I've got a PSU that's about 18 months old. It's a mediocre (at best) unit, an Aspire ATX-AS550W-BK. It died on a friend, so I replaced it for him and kept this one just to troubleshoot what went wrong.
I cracked open the case, and don't see any visible burns, bulging caps, or anything, though it is incredibly dusty.
My question is, what are some common issues with PSU's just dropping dead, and how might I go about troubleshooting them?
Thanks!
