My NV+ somewhat died. After some moments after "booting..." it says poof and all lights go out (I guess the fuse doesn't activate). I didn't see anything wrong with the PSU at first. I has been running 24/7 for 4 years but had to replace the fusebox lately. The outlet isn't grounded but shouldn't be a problem, right?
edit: I located where it sparked. It went via the FETs and heatsink to the casing. I ordered a a new PSU. I don't think I have a 4pin minifit connector left to solder though, so I wouldn't have to swap the -5/-12 wires for the +12. edit2: I acquired a connector but then found out the fan is in the way xD. edit3: hacked a hole for the little PSU fan and now running again. I somehow managed to put unused wiring away in empty spaces.
