Hey Guys! I’ve had my slimline desktop about 2 years and it’s decided to die on me while plugging a HDMI cable into it! It had a new motherboard put in about a year ago after the last one died and now I have a feeling this one has done the same.
When plugging the power cable in hear a little pop sound but I get no power to motherboard and no other noise to say it’s even trying to turn on. Took it a Currys/PC World and the guy there seemed to think it was the PSU rather than the motherboard. The PSU is a LiteOn PE-5221-02AB which is a slim Micro ATX unit afaik so was wondering whether I could swap it for a bigger ATX unit or I can change it to PE-5221-08AB which looks near identical to it with the same specs? Or is it a case of a new motherboard again?
Cheers guys, you’ll probably know a lot more than a dude at a till so any help is really appreciated!
