apparently instead of having a "POWER GOOD" pin like ATX PSUs do, they went for the opposite, where they have a pin that tells you if the power is sus *amongus noise*

A list of pinouts. Pin 17 is listed as "VCC SUS"

someday when I have money again I'm getting me an inspection microscope with HDMI out so I can do better close-up pictures of these things.
But here's the power supply board. Something on here smells (supposedly) like Magic Smoke.

Do they make smelloscopes?

Two views of a small PCB, top and bottom. It's got a bunch of inductors, capacitors, and a ton of little resistors.

I don't think it's supposed to look like that (Amusingly, I'm listening to Well There's Your Problem in another tab)

the label has been sadly... exploded.

I think it's either a MOSFET or a very small voltage regulator?
