Power Supply Blown

A couple of nights ago, while observing, there was a bright white flash from my power supply and everything died. It seems the cooling fan had worked its way loose and fallen on the circuit board. Fortunately, nothing was damaged, except the power supply. It was one of the 8amp powertech units from Jaycar. Just a warning, check for loos components every now and then.
