How to determine the PSU wattage without a label on it
If there is no label, then you should treat it as waste. This is because the label holds essential safety information that needs to be preserved. I think it's best to keep it hidden, at least for now.
Thanks. I bought the machine from a company that refurbs. They have a main site with pretty good rep and ebay with fairly good rep. I was told the psu was 1000 w. Once I got the machine, first thing I did was check everything and found no label on the psu. Called them up and asked why. Still waiting for response. Not sure I'm allowed to mention the company
On HP's website and the system's documentation, it might have originally included a 775 watt PSU.
System details indicate this depends on whether the correct tower was located.
Regardless, as mentioned earlier, using an unknown or unidentifiable PSU is unreliable.
I would carefully examine all other parts as a precaution.
I found out after watching those YouTube videos that all these machines indeed have the PSU label on the top cover, which you can't see.
