Just replaced the PSU on a neighbors Shuttle (SK41G) pc. This was causing a 5-10 minute delay between the time when the start button was pushed and the pc started coming to life. A quick test with a full-size ATX PSU confirmed the PSU was the culprit. A google showed that Shuttle PSUs have gone bad in a few other cases, and just this morning a colleague mentioned a similar problem…and wouldn’t you know it, he has a Shuttle! The replacement arrived today and all is well.
Here is the old (click for lable close-up)…
…and here is the new (slightly bigger, both physically and capacity-wise)…
They’re nice little boxes, but I’ll stick with normal mini-ATX and ATX towers for the PCs I build.
