Falcon PSU making 'tsk-tsk-tsk' sound
Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2018 9:41 pm
As mentioned in this post one of my PSUs is making very quiet 'tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk' sound. I thought recapping would do some good and oh boy, I was definitely right about this one:
However, even after recapping with the kit from Chris I can still hear the sound (maybe a bit quieter, not 100% sure). This has been tested without load, I must purchase the resistors on Monday (afraid to put it in Falcon but I assume the same behaviour - power LED blinking like crazy - would be observed) but still - I don't think any sound like this should be there.
Any idea what could be the cause? It nearly sounds like some mechanical component. I also plan to resolder all the solder joints as recommended by Chris but after that I will be out of ideas (and with an upgrade kit in dead PSU).
