I paid a pretty penny for it, and it was only used for 12 hours. I heard a loud bang during a Read/Write repair of a 1997 HDD in HDAT2.
I need to see if it took the Abit LX6 and Quantum Fireball ST with it. I have duplicates of the Diamond Viper 330 (Riva128), Pentium II (Klamath), RAM, IDE CD-ROM and IDE floppy, so I'm less concerned about those. Thank goodness I didn't have my Canopus Pure3D and AWE64 Gold plugged into this thing, like I was supposed to.
The toast component is a through-hole ceramic "disc capacitor," right? What does this part usually do in a PSU where it is positioned?
PS- Yes, the noise made me jump out of my seat. It was definitely more of a 'bang' than a 'pop.'
