I have been searching for and PSU with AUX P4 out for quite some time. This week i managed to find such a PSU on the flea market for the usual 5$-10$ price. 🤣
The first one is an Enermax EG365AX-VE and the second one is LiteON PS-5551-1F (accidentally bought it, thought the extra connector was AUX, didn't even notice it wasn't, now i feel very very dumb).
Both do not work/want to start.
Enermax PSU has suffered internal damage. An resistor has, from my conclusion, lit up so hot the resistor cracked and you can see the metal parts. It has melted the plastic part of an transformer next to it and it seems that the high wattage resistor has also taken a hit.
The PSU of course doesn't work. But i think i can fix it.
Kinda sucks because the person who sold it to me said its functional and that it would replace it if it was not. Ive never seen the person again since.
The LiteON PSU has no damage internally.
When i connect it to my Abit BP6 and press the power button, the PSU starts up, coolers start spinning on the board, and than the PSU cuts off power and shuts down. Wont accept wake up call any more.
When i remove the cable and put it back it, same thing, starts the first time than stops.
Does any one know what could cause the LiteON PSU to stop like that? It is really good, it has around 4kg (from feel), it would be a damn shame to let it go to waste.
And if any one has any documentation on it, it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, what is the specification on the AUX connector? What voltage and Amperage is present?

I am not sure if anything is damaged, i think its more due to those components getting hotter and dust collecting there more frequently due to that. All of it can be cleaned and the material isn't burned.
Components are also 100% OK from visual inspection. And the PSU, aside from dust on the sides, is almost dust free and looks like new.
