Compaq Deskpro 386 Power Supply
Purchasing a new Compaq Deskpro 386 power supply can be a breeze, especially if you still have the old PSU to make a size comparison to. The PSU, or power supply, is responsible for powering the hard drive, motherboard and any other peripherals in the PC. Always try to replace a PSU with the same wattage or larger. It is not too difficult to install a new PSU in the Deskpro 386 desktop. You do not always want to go with the cheapest PSU because it is the only barrier between the outside power grid and your delicate internal Compaq components.
General indicators that your primary power supply will need replacing
- Your Compaq turns off while under a heavy load
- The Compaq will not power on
- You notice burnt wires in the PSU
