Howdy folks,
For those of you still using Xserve G5's, you have likely encountered some bad PSUs. And if you haven't yet, don't worry, you will soon enough! A working PSU will run you several hundreds of dollars on eBay and will likely fail soon as well.
These PSUs need a recap.
Having done 80+ of these Xserve G5 recaps to date, only one was an unsuccessful repair (a massive power surge fried the thing). So for just a few bucks, you can easily bring these PSUs back to life 99% of the time!
I have typed up a few posts about repairing these things:
https://thehouseofmoth.com/recapping-an-xserve-g5-power-supply-part-1-preparations/
https://thehouseofmoth.com/recapping-an-xserve-g5-power-supply-part-2-recap-and-test/
https://thehouseofmoth.com/recapping-an-xserve-g5-power-supply-part-3-additional-notes/
Now either those posts are really, really poorly written, or people just don't feel like doing this repair themselves. Either way, I have these PSU's shipped my direction from all over the world frequently year-round
If you want one of these PSUs repaired and also prefer to have someone else do it, I'm happy to help!
For the latest info on this, and other, services I offer, take a peek at this webpage.
Long live Xserve!
