I've got a Centris 650 with PPC upgrade card that I'd had sitting in storage for about 3 years. It worked fine when I "retired" it to storage.
Anyway, I pulled it out recently and fired it up and the power supply fuse blew immediately. It was loud too, sounded like a rifle being shot off in the house. I replaced the fuse, and it promptly blew immediately again as soon as I hit the power button. I figure the power supply is probably bad, so I've been looking for a replacement, but... Wow. I haven't seen a single one pop up for sale anywhere, including eBay, and unfortunately this power supply seems to be unique to the Centris 650. I have half a mind to try and fix it, so I pulled it apart and took a look at it but, aside from a layer of dust, there's nothing wrong with it that I can discern from a visual inspection. I mean, I was half expecting to see a melted transformer, burnt/exploded caps, etc. Anyone have any suggestions? Either a tip on a common failure point on these, or where I might find a replacement?
