Hey guys,
A few weeks ago I was testing my Chaintech-486SPM that I just got fixed and that refused to boot (keyboard error and dead battery) My PSU started to smell of burned components and molten solder along with making faint ticking noises. how likely is it that the motherboard killed the PSU? I had tried another PSU before that one and it refused to do anything (should have known 😒 ).
The problem is that I no longer have a PSU that I can use in my tower case (the other AT PSU's cables are way too short). I am planning to get an ATX PSU however I have no idea how much a 486 needs on the +5 line. Could anyone help me out ?
