Power Supply Hardware
2009-05-27 by Greg Cerveny
I recently picked up a second hand a100p6 that was packed by sandwiching it between two single 12" x 24" sheets of bubble wrap. As you might guess, the unit got to me damaged in the post. The standoff posts that attach the heatsink/powersupply/case on the left/interior side seem to have snapped off. Other than a blown fuse I just replaced, this case/power appear to be functioning as they should. I was able to remove the power supply and with needle-nose pliers, unscrew the broken ends. I've attached a picture of the broken pieces. Does anyone know where I could get a pair of replacement stand-offs? I'm assuming a power supply is a pretty rugged piece of equipment and that despite the snapping standoffs, should be fine to use. Anyone have any reason to believe that I should replace the power supply? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
