I am looking for the scematic of the RAIDMAX ATX12V AT2005b 380W Power Supply.
 
Inadvertently, I shorted the green wire to a live ground. Sparks occurred on the board around 470u 16v capacitor. I replaced it but othe components may have been destroyed.
 
Here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tas1k9r9w57dsz2/atx%20photo%20web.jpg?dl=0
 
 
The item with a check mark has been checked or replaced.
 
2- Somebody knows what is the value of the fuse?
 
1- Somebody knows what is the type (transistor?) of the #1 component ? It exploded and I can only see the numbers 80. Is ir a transistor, a voltage reference, ?
 
Any clue is welcomed.
 
Greetings,
 
JPD

500W instead of 380 watts

You might try contacting the manufacturer. If you get the right tech person they are often very helpful.

Gross Tet !! I just saw a lady drop an ear bud and pick it up off of the floor and put it back in her ear !!

Let's get to first principles:
 
I keep an 11-tube tuner that draws about 60 watts and is fused with a 3/4A dual-element fuse.
 
Matching to it is a 35 watt (2 x 17.5) 6-tube power-amp that is fused at 1.5A. It is a Class A/B device.
 
Yes, the part that moves the air takes most of the power.
 
Now - digital radios are all/nothing devices. The term is 'cliff effect', there is no fading, it just drops off the cliff. The power-amp part is probably a Class D device. Meaning it only draws power when it is passing signal making it about 90% efficient.
 
So, at no-signal conditions, the radio section is still drawing 100% of its necessary power, the amp is drawing (very nearly almost) nothing. But, if you are making your ears bleed, the amp section will be drawing much more than the radio section. Phil's piece of string is an apt analogy.

Broadcast and reception take a lot of power if you're planning that through an MP3 but, yuck !! Re-using earbuds off of the floor, ewww!!

Phil,
you don't know micky very well, do you?

Could also be due to arcing. Which may well be stoppable at this stage by washing the affected area and drying very thoroughly.
