I have put together a few bits of information useful for repairing d530 SFF PSUs. Please note that this is technical material, and not intended for most end-users. However, if you have the skills in SMPS repair (or electronics in general), this information might help.
As usual, disclaimers apply. After all, this information is on the internet. Use your own judgment and common sense. If you destroy your PSU, computer, or even burn down your house, it's your own fault.
In-machine repair It is very possible, if not convenient, to repair the PSU whilst still attached to the rest of the system. It only needs to be partially removed. It removes the necessity to disconnect and reconnect cables. Very suited to bulk repair jobs.
If using this method, it is highly recommended that you use some type of current-limiting device when testing. The 'series light bulb' trick works quite nicely, especially when you have a unit which can switch in or out several light bulbs to increase/decrease the resistance.
If after replacing the above, the PSU still fails to start (or runs for only a split second), the following should be checked:
Usually the 5v standby circuitry survives. It is on its own self-contained board labelled 'Footlong +5V AUX daughterboard'. If it fails, usually the integrated switcher IC is the culprit. Can only be replaced with part from 'Power Integration', TOP244P.
The secondary (isolated) side of the PSU almost always survives a fault, unless something silly was done, such as shorting the outputs.
Please don't ask me how or where you can obtain the parts mentioned above. If you are qualified to undertake the repairs, it is assumed that you already know where to source the parts. I'm sure an internet search will yield some good suppliers.
If you want your PSU repaired professionally, read the page on HP Compaq d530 308617-001 Power supply unit repair. We provide this service at competitive rates.
