Power Supply Failure [#2]
25th Jan 2006
1st
The computer was working before it was moved.
The part number is DLP2507F3C. It's 250W
1- Cannot find any info using that P/N
2- Do you still have both Power Supplies in your possession
3- Do They both have the same Part Number
4- You are talking about the Internal Power Supply Located inside the PC Case
5- The Dell Dimension 4550 should have a 450 Watt Power Supply with 12 Volt@ 23 AMP
6- What is the 12 Volt Current rating on both of the supplies that fried
7- Are they [Original Dell Parts] or [Dell Compatible Parts]
8- Dell uses Non Standard Power ATX Power Supplies & Non Standard Motherboards [Requires Special Connectors/Adaptors -
9- Tell me more of [Move] Moved from [Where TO Where]
10- Who Uninstalled old Power Supply & Installed the replacement
11- Give me all Info on Power Supply Name Plate
12- Is there an [Adaptor Cable] between Power Supply & Motherboard was that used on New PS
13- Were the Power Connections to Motherboard Correctly Connected [Non Standard Connectors]
14- Visually Inspect Motherboard for Burnt tracks Blown Capacitors
I just do not understand that Power Supply being installed in that PC with that Motherboard It appears that Motherboard may have been connected wrong then was fried & then caused Power Supply Failure

2nd
There is a flat panel monitor plugged into the wall outlet which also supplies the computer. The outlet has been installed recently by an electrician
1- What is Manufacturer & Model Number of this Flat Panel Display
2- What kind of building [Office Building] [Single Dwelling] [Apartment] [Industrial]
3- What Room/Location [Office] [Den] Living Room] [Basement] [Kitchen] [Bedroom]
The Flat Panel Monitor probably has a [Power Pack Adaptor] That can be connected to AC input with a range of [90 240 V / 50 60 Hz] So it would survive an Improperly wired Power Outlet Have you ever had anything else connected to this [Outlet] besides the PC & Monitor And was the 1st Power Supply Failure The [Initial Connection] of this PC to this Outlet
What do you mean by [Recently Installed] - & What is the reason for Installation of the Outlet -
I kind of suspect that it - [Outlet] - may be improperly connected to a [220 Volt Circuit] I strongly recommend that this [Outlet] be tested for Voltage -
