Shoutout to the tech who told me about the 80% rule for power supply failures
I was fixing a gaming PC and he said over 80% of 'no power' calls he gets are just bad caps on the board, not the actual PSU unit. Found that stat in an old forum post from a repair shop in Phoenix. Do you guys find that holds true, or is it more like 50/50 in your experience?

Yeah, that's been my experience too.

Totally get that. I had a similar thing happen last year. Ended up finding a good spot that did a full diagnostic for free.
