Hey Steve,
A fellow named Ron, who used to work at Dicksmith fixed my power supply
once. I have unfortunately lost his contact number, as soon as I find
it, i'll flick another reply.
Cheers,
Navi

Does anyone know of a place in Chch that can test and potentially fix PSUs? I'd usually just chuck it, but in this case is's out of a 2U server box, and has pretty specialised wiring to run 6 removeable hdd bays.
The server itself is running fine on an old AMD socket 478 board which was
becoming a bit flakey after the best part of 3 years constant use in a dusty
environment. I have spent about 2 months trying to replace it with a new quad
core replacement, and after spending a month on the first one, my supplier
admitted that the memory didn't really work with the modo I was using. So I
replaced this with an Intel equivalent, which was a real pain due to the new
intel graphics stuff not really being supported in the mainstream kernels, and
other things. Anyway, the first board never even passed POST, and the
replacement lasted less than a week. In this situation, my supplier is blaming
my PSU ( which is still working fine as far as I can see ), and I'm blaming
shoddy goods. I really do need to be sure that they are not wrong before trying
to put another replacement mobo, etc into the server. I can temporarily lift
the bonnet and run a standard sized PSU in the meantime.
All I've done is to open the unit up and clean the dust out of it. Can anyone
suggest a local company to service it???
As usual the tenuous link is that this is out of my linux server (:
Cheers,
Steve
