[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1103963, member: 46727"] To add to what Chris replied... The loud bang you heard was very likely an electro capacitor bursting in the PS. I've heard that noise many times during the years I was doing computer and electronic repairs for the US Govt. You might want to dig around thru the machine and also on the logic board to see if there is any other damage. When a capacitor shorts out and bursts, it usually causes other damage. And like Chris said, the PS you have may not be the one needed. [/QUOTE]
