Hi all,
thank you so much for the input. Especially on the repair, that is good to know. So I found the datasheet for the power supply online, its the afe1200 by artesyn, and I wanted to test the output pins to see if they are outputting the correct voltage. No combination of the outputs has 48V across it, (I had to test them all since the spec sheet doesn't label them), and there are three LEDs on it, 2 green and 1 red. While those also aren't labeled on the data sheet, the green ones indicate good AC and DC, while the red indicates power fail. When plugged in, only on green LED turns on and there is a faint clicking sound from the power supply itself. The cooling fans on the power supply do not turn on. My diagnosis is the green light indicates AC power but theres a problem on the DC end.
Here's my silly question. There's a bunch of pin connectors on the power supply that connect to the motherboard. Is there any reason that power supply would need to be connected to the motherboard to operate? Or can I safely say that the power supply is faulty if it doesn't appear to operate normally by itself.
Thanks!
