Hi, I'm replacing my power supply myself instead of taking it to the shop...I've watched videos online and it looks easy enough. I know to leave my PC unplugged overnight before opening it and to ground myself. I'm just going to look at where everything is plugged in on the old one write it all down and then put the same plugs in from the new one.
But I can't even see everything on the first one, where everything is plugged in and such because there are so many extra wires that are just tied up in this huge bunch that kind blocks my view. I need to to cut the plastic ties on them get the wires out of the way and then examine what goes where.
My question is, and this is probably being too cautious but, is it safe to replace those plastic ties with kitchen twist ties that are plastic but have a little aluminum wire on the inside? The metal won't cause any problems? I only ask because i notice the ties that came with it from the store are all just plastic thing.
Just wondering....thanks.
