I'll go ahead and get it reviewed by someone who can provide more insight, or I can run some tests myself.
You can use a multimeter to verify the output voltage from the PSU. In addition, it suggests replacing a component.
Additionally, the $15 to $20 USD power supply tester can be a lifesaver when you lack a second PSU. It provides clear insight into the power supply's performance and helps verify its functionality. You can replicate the same checks using a multimeter, focusing on wattage and voltage output. For example, confirm whether you're receiving the expected 5V or something lower like 4.2V. If you don’t have access to these tools or wish to purchase them, it might be time to visit a repair shop or seek advice from a friend. Currently, the power supply could be faulty—possibly due to a ground short in your setup, household issues, or other components needing replacement. A multimeter or professional help would be the next best step.
