Comment on Fixing a loud PSU fan without dying

Comments

Interesting article and great results.

PSUs are probably the only piece of Hardware, i DO NOT fiddle around with, not even for saving lots of money or time.

PSU Capacitors are no joke, especially in (older) TVs. However, I expected more like an instruction manual why PSUs are dangerous and how to properly discharge capacitors before taking them apart less than how to replace a fan although it's dangerous and getting away with it with a simple hint to not touch the capacitors (no offense).

BTW I would recommend to use electrical tape and shrink tube instead of simple adhesive tape (as it looks in the pictures) to prevent lose cables touching the spinning fan.
