Well my liberty 620 exploded last week with a loud BANG while my girl was playing WOW.
So I I got a replacement under warranty but it is a newer different version.
This version does not work correctly with my MB: DFI Lanparty Expert.
It has a SERIOUS switch bounce issue.
I have to Hold the power button in and turn the PSU on and off for as long as it takes untill eventualy the POS will fire up.
So Now I'm sure I will get to hear DFI blame enermax and enermax blame DFI. Honestly I blame mostly the PSU as my old one never had this much of a switch bounce issue. (The old PSU did have a switch bounce issue where if you Hard Powered the computer off, it would not turn back on untill you turned the PSU off for 30 seconds and then backon)...It was no where near as bad as the current problem. In fact It was not even an issue unless I locked up or bluescreened...
So what Do I do now? Cut my losses and Buy a differnt brand PSU? I have no money and I'm looking for a new job...
Before DFI street was down I beleive there was a mod I could do to the MB or PSU to solve the issue. It involved a .22uf cap I belive. But now DFI Street is gone and I don't know where to go to find the information. I just need to know what kind of cap to buy and I can solder it into the switch wires on the computer case itself
