Failure of an Octane2 power supply!
I was just running tests on my Octane2, when it suddenly stopped. I unplugged the power and then plugged it back in and the machine started, but with that electronic smell.

I quickly pulled the power supply and dismantled it and found that the following component was the source of the problem: (the yellow, square component)

It looks like some kind of fuse to me.

If anybody knows what this component is, please let me know.


I was running the machine extremely hard, when the fuse tripped the power. (All the quake games at once + doom)

The machine is back up and running, but I will have to replace this component! (It looks like a large resettable fuse)

It connects the power supplies output to the busbars.
