Hit your computer with a bat until it opens up and you can find it that way. It is ok if only 2 parts break they r likely not important

How do you calculate wattage capacity needed by a power supply?
To know what size power supply you need, add up the wattage requirements of all components and add 30 percent.
What is the voltage drop across each lamp?
To answer this question a supply voltage must be stated. Also the wattage of the lamps is needed.
How do you determine the power wattage capacity needed by a power supply?
Hi there guys, this is the answer you all looking 4.Add up all wattage requirements for all devices that will use the power supply and then add an additional 30%.
Wattage needed for 750 milliampre?
That depends on the voltage V. Wattage P = amperage A times voltage V.
What pieces of information are needed before selecting a power supply?
The main piece of information needed is the load wattage or amperage that will be connected to the power supply. Once this is known the power supply of a greater size that the load should be chosen. Also with this information the size of the wires can be calculated from the power supply to the load. Too small a wire will create a voltage drop at the load end of the circuit. This will cause under performance of the load.
Wire size for an electric range?
Wire size is based of the amperage of the device. To answer this question the amperage is needed or the wattage and voltage of the device.
What type of degree is needed to design computer programs?
A computer science degree is recommended but not a requirement. If you are good with computers you should be able to find a job.
Why is it important to buy a power supply that's close to the requirements for your system instead of buying a higher wattage power supply?
It's not. A higher than needed power supply will not harm your computer in any way. It will simply cost slightly more and draw more power. As they are more expensive, higher-watt power supplies will often have better warranties. A higher wattage will also facilitate future expansion more easily, instead of you needing to purchase a larger one later anyway.
Does a computer's power supply generate electricity?
In short, no. The power supply takes the alternating mains voltage and reduces it to the low voltages and direct current needed by the components of your PC.
How do components get power?
A computer's power supply unit provides all needed voltages for the components of a computer that are internal. Externals either draw power from the USB bus (which in turn gets it's power from the aforementioned PSU or a Hub with a power supply) OR have their own internal power supply with a cable.
Why is stable power supply needed in a computer lab?
Sensitive electronic equipment's like computers are prone to problems when exposed to un reliable power
When replacing a bad computer power supply can you install a bigger one and not harm the computer?
Don't worry... more watts available is unnecessary, but cannot harm your computer. Less watts than needed could harm your computer. For dealing with motherboard and other devices you should usually ground yourself. However when you deal with your power supply make sure you do not earth yourself as this could harm your power supply or even you.
