June 1st, 2008 - So long, red friend

After only a year, my happy little Hiper HPU-4R580 power supply decided to die. The ugly red/dark pink box died before its time, but at least it didn’t burn the place to the ground when it went. No smell of electrical fire or anything like that, something in it died and it shut down.

After tinkering with it for a while I did manage to get it to sputter a little as it initially got power, but then it quickly shut down. Oh well, we’ll see what Fry’s has to offer.

Edit: There is now a faint hint of electrical burn smell.  Fun.
