Caution:
please read our safety
information.
Before
opening the case, unplug the PC to avoid an electrical
shock hazard. Exercise caution as there are sharp edges on a PC and its components.
Always wear
a static electricity discharge strap and attach the lead to the metal frame
of the case, when working with your PC's components to avoid damaging your PC.
Note that some manufacturers will void your PC's warranty if you open the case.
The
power supply is easily replaced.
The only considerations for choosing
a replacement are that the old one
is removable (it almost always is),
that it has the appropriate power
connectors for your motherboard
and that it supplies enough power
for your PC's needs. See the overview
for more information on selecting
a power supply.
