ANS 700 Power Supply

[aplmak]

So I have two ANS 700 power supplies.. One is dead.. so I opened it up after drilling out nicely the three rivets on one side. I sent the PS to a reputable company down in NC.. They did not take long to diagnose it.. They want $1500.00 for the repair! That's just insane! I do my own repairs but this power supply stumped me. Does anyone have any recommendations on where I could get this PS fixed at a more affordable rate??

Hi aplmak,

Is this to have dual redundant PSUs in the one machine, or a single PSU in two ANS 700s? I'm assuming if you want redundant an ATX conversion wouldn't cope so well. Singularly though, if you have one working you could determine pinouts for a conversion.

Maybe post some pics up here of the dead unit, some of the techies could advise and seek another repair store with more knowledge of the fault?

I think for a $1500 quote, you should put a name next to it. They earned it for not being forthcoming and just confessing they're too busy. They don't want to be bothered with it, that's all it means. But then ignore, put it out of your mind, and just get some more quotes.

At least I have a working one.. I believe it’s a 425W power supply.. so it’s a bit of an oddball.. at some point I’ll try to get the pin outs on the working one.. it’s a very weird connector..
