I decided to part with my Crimson with PowerSeries skins, so in an attempt to document the working condition of the machine i set up a video to show the system after i was cleaning it up and getting everything ready.

I connected the power cable to the system and turned on the outlet. I did not flip the front switch to "on" yet. The breaker on the back was set to "on" since the handle broke off a long time ago.
Not to my big surprise, the system didn't start initially, but slowly the fans set in gear and the loud humming started.
At this moment i noticed a flickering in the keyboard led and the leds on the Kingston AUI. That's not good.

So i caught this on video and i've uploaded it to my site at: https://tudl1910.home.xs4all.nl/videos/Crimson_on.mp4

This somehow reminds me of the story of CB_HK in https://forums.irixnet.org/thread-427.html

Meh, i don't know what to do. I can perhaps spend some time pulling out the PowerOne PSU and diagnose it on a bench. Chances are that i need a 300V module or a 5V module and i honestly don't want to spend the money on this since it was decided that it should go to another enthusiast to clear a lot of room to do something else with the space.
I've looked on Ebay and those PSU's go for 250 USD and that's without shipping.

And yes, i did flip the switch to the "on" position at a later time only to get Green and orange leds at the PS3 and some distinct acid odor coming from the machine. That's not good either.... The PS3 did show "F" but didn't progress further.
I am a bit stupid, i admit, to do this foolheartedly, and i did power it on some time ago to see it running properly.

So, what should i do? Take out the PSU put it on the table and get some 300V readings?
