Teach
you how to replace your computer’s internal power supply component.
Step 1.Find the
power supply.
This
supplies power to the other components, which is why it has so many wires
coming out of it. It is usually positioned at the back top corner of the
computer case. The power supply has a fan built into it to keep itself and the
computer cool.
Step 2.Get into
the tower.
To
get into the tower, you will have to remove the panel which is on the right
hand side when viewing the tower from the back. Open this side of computer case
by removing the screws at the back of the tower which are holding it in place.
Then simply slide the panel off.
Step
3.Disconnect the power cables.
Cable
from the power supply should be connected to each component requiring power.
These cables are easy to disconnect simply pull out the plugs from sockets on
the back of the components. The plug and socket on the motherboard are a
different shape from the normal type, but it should come out just as easily. It
may be a good idea to write down how many sockets were disconnected so you can
make sure they are all reconnected later with the new unit.
Step 4.Remove
the power supply.
Remove
the screws at the back of the power supply unit while supporting it with one
hand. Once the screws are undone it should be easy to slip the old unit out of
the tower.
Step 5.Power
cable connection.
Screw
in new drive then connect the power cables to every component that was
originally connected. Remember if any components are left unconnected they will
not work.
Step 6.Get it
going again.
Switch
the computer on, if all the components have been connected you should be ready
to go.
My
PSU is on the top front of my case. Can you help me to remove it? It comes with
a case so it’s generic?
Check
for screws on the outside of the case, and inside of it. See where the PSU is
being held into the case. I cannot help that much as I do not know what case
you have.
