Signs of Power Supply Board Failure

No output voltage, output voltage out of specification, the unit tripping or shutting down under load, unusual heat, or capacitors that look bulged or leaking.

Capacitor failure is one of the most common — and most repairable — power supply faults. A bulging or leaking capacitor is a clear visual signal worth acting on early.

Assessment measures input and output voltages under load and inspects components to confirm the fault before recommending repair or replacement.
