Krazy,

It's a PowerTek 500W Switching Power Supply (Model Number ATX500D). It normally comes with two fans... I removed one previously and will probably undervolt the remaining one.

ozzy7550,

I checked it and there was some voltage potential between the "fingers"... So I was going to check it further and had just plugged it back in to get readings when I heard the worst sound you can hear... "*POP!*" ... and my UPS clicked off.

There was a small burn spot on the back of the circuit board... I can only suspect that a small piece of loose solder got on it and ZAP... dead PSU.

So, I'm off to the net to locate another one of the same make and model.
