The author found it necessary to cut the four wires leading from the pcb to the socket and power switch in order to remove the pcb from the case. You may want to mark one of the pair of brown wires for reassembly. It is also best to remove both fans.

Upon reassembly, you can re-attach these wires using spade crimp connectors and heat-shrink tubing, or by replacing the wires and re-soldering them to the plug and switch. Make sure that the wires do not obstruct either of the fans before closing the case.

Destructive Entry No

The Thermaltake Purepower-480D is a high end 480W ATX-12V PSU from the mid 2000s. It included two built in fans, controllable by a knob mounted in a PCI slot or 5.25" bay, and could be found in both silver and black cases, both with gold colored fan grills.

Known Issue

Bulging

The electrolytic capacitors C13, C15, C16, and C37 are at elevated risk of bulging or failure. Replacement is advised.

Disassembly Notes

The author found it necessary to cut the four wires leading from the PCB to the socket and power switch in order to remove the PCB from the case. You may want to mark one of the pair of brown wires for reassembly. It is also best to remove both fans.

Upon reassembly, you can re-attach these wires using spade crimp connectors and heat-shrink tubing, or by replacing the wires and re-soldering them to the plug and switch. Make sure that the wires do not obstruct either of the fans before closing the case.
