Hi,
New to these forums, but thought it'd be a pretty good place to post because I'm a little unsure what to do with my Dell PSU. Recently my Dell Dimension 5150C blew up, and I think it was probably some static charge inside that did it. The Motherboard looks fine, as well as the rest of the components (I removed the RAM and its working fine in my other Computer). Now, I believe it to be the PSU unit because when I've tried putting a lead into it, theres a couple of bangs without the computer even on (although when you connect it, it normally turns on for a second or two anyway). Anyway, point of this is, where can I get a new PSU unit from as dell have weird cases where its all manufactured to be "easy" but very hard to put what you want in it. Plus because its a Mini tower (I think thats right, not up to speed on the technical words etc, but its definitely a small computer), I can't really stuff any old whatit in. Any help would be really appreciated because if I can't get this to work, I'm going to have to just buy (or make this time) a new computer. Oh, and the PSU model is a N275P-00 :) |

Call Dell or modify the case.

Hi mate,
been there recently with my Girlfriends Dell machine. PSU went bang, so I replaced it - thinking it Hadn't taken out the mobo. Unfortunately it did, and unfortunately as well, the new PSU didn't fit in the dell machine. Ended up replacing the Dell PSU, Motherboard, and Case. C'est la vie. About to buy a new dell actually - you can't go wrong with the prices! £440 for dual core 2, 320gb hdd, and 2gb ram, oh, and xp pro, and a 19" basic flat panel wide monitor ;) all delivered :D yes please! |

Yeah their base models are well priced.
It seems they pull your pants down when you add to the specs. |

True, but for the average home user, the specs are well above standard.
Plus, on top of this, if you shop around later on for additional components, you're much better off. |
