Is power supply faulty
Posted on 2004-08-16
Hi,
I have a patroit booksize MIII 667 pc, when the system is turn off and only the power supply is connected to the mains it tends to get hot and smelly, also the inside of the case has brown staining over the power supply, also i have noticed that in the bios the voltage for the 12v supply in always running over 13 volts and normally at 13.31v, althought the 5v runs at 5.15v and the 3.3v runs at at 3.36v and the cpu voltage reads 1.61v. so i am not sure if the supply is faulty or not but the smell does worry me.
Cheers
Peter
