hi!
for some time now I have been using a computer atx power supply for different experiments. I have several outputs (3.3v / 5v / 12v) and in a project I was using the 12volts rail to feed and arduino and the 5volts to feed a waterproofed LED strip that was outdoors under the rain. After some time, the 5volts rail stopped working.
is it possible that due to a short circuit in the 5volts lines because of the rain , 5v lines stop working while 12v and 3.3v lines continue working?
that would mean that the LED strips are not waterproof as expected, but could it be something else that caused 5volts rail to stop working while 12v and 3.3v lines continue working?
