ok was frustrated and bored . so opened up an old 300w smps which went POOF regularly . on the SMPS board there are 2 silver vertical plates (2 tower) with three sorta black square electrical thingies attached to each by a screw and each Black thing is soldered to the Board . Now , to my surprise , one of the vertical plates , has instead of a black square thing
, what looks like two capacitors with one lead coming out of both and both soldered together . What the heck is that . I will try to post a pik soon . till then , it would be nice to know what those black rectangular things are , and how they bust so soon ?
If anyone interested , real reason i opened it , was to attach another fan to blow in air to cool the smps , thus , it might be able to prevent it from blowing up next time . anyone moded their smps here ?
