This PC ATX power supply is back from 2007 and has had been working 24/7 for many years...
It started randomly turning off, power cycles or it wouldn't start at all.
I wanted to repair this one as it offers many connectors for Sata, fans, molex and dual (2X) 8 pin 12V VGA connectors which is very handy.

It does use some very thin 8mm diameter CapXon capacitors which started bulging and licking electrolyte.

In this video I try to repair this old ATX computer power supply.
