Fitting a Power Unit...

[Ash]

Well, i am ordering a new one sometime this week...It looks like the same power unit as the one i have now.. Soooo, if i was to see what connects where, and try remember it or maybe even draw it down etc...Would it be possible for a novice like me to replace a power unit in my PC?? because i have NEVER in my life fited a power unit,motherboard or CPU. I have Put most other things in my pc though :P

I am asking because i have been reading about that a Power Unit is a very fragile thing, and it is VERY hard to fit to the computer....


Thanks.

nah its easy lol goto the back of ur case roughly where the power suply is then there will be screws take them out (securing the power suply with 1 hand) and it shud just come out get ur other power suply take each cable out 1 at a a time putting the new leads back in from the new power suply simple tbh ¬_¬

Argh oki, cheers....Google makes it sound so much harder -_- :P

No setup is needed i am guessing?? it's just, fit,plug and play...well. fit plug and turn on :P?

basicly as zidio described. make sure your new power supply is the same wattage or greater than your old one

 

[Ash]

It's exactly the same i think Just gota make sure it's switched onto 230w and not 115 ^__^

Thanks for yur help Just need to get the new power unit now -_-

you cant really go wrong with a power supply. The cables will only fit in the place they are ment to go.

True Df. It's just that i become abit wary when it come's to computer's and power/electricity :P knowing me ill manage to turn fitting a power unit from an easy task, to an impossible one O__O
