Hello, I have a NUC9 Extreme with i7 9750h board. As of about a week ago, I did an 'update and shutdown' of windows on my pc. The next morning, it was turning on and hardly reaching login before shutting off again. Sometimes it would stay on for 10 minutes, othertimes I couldn't reach the option to open BIOS. I could hear relays or switches of some sort clicking on and off.
This essentially repeated over the weekend until I decided to uninstall latest version of windows when it stayed on long enough, it was turning on and staying on and performing fine even after restarting it but I could tell there was still a struggle to boot on as the relays clicking on and off occured before it would stay on for good. The next morning, absolutely nothing. No lights on the power button or GPU, just a couple faint clicks occasionally and that was it. So now im left with a brick essentially.
I want to know what the likelyhood of these symptoms displaying PSU or compute element failure is?
Also, is it possible to replace the PSU at all in these cases? I really struggled trying to get it out, and are similar PSUs available to just drop in the same way it came out?
Really struggling for options here and I hope someone can give me a clear enough answer on what to do next, don't want to scrap the PC nor purchase a new compute element upwards of $500
Hoping there is some sort of hope or solution, thanks
