My 750 watt power supply took a shit years ago, but I was planning on trying to fix it when I got another one for scrap parts.
Once I finally got a scrap parts PSU, I opened up the 750W, and I found the bottom side of the board was covered in blackened soot, apparently ionized nicotine and dust.
I cleaned all that shit off with rubbing alcohol, an old toothbrush, paper towels and Q-Tips. Apparently that's all it took to get it working again, yay!
I have 3 pets and smoke a shitload of medical weed next to my computer, it gets disassembled and deep cleaned quarterly or it overheats lmfao can relate
