Default A/C Not Working..

Alright my A/C just stopped working. I recharged it few weeks ago and has been running good but today is just wont blow cold air. So far I checked the fuse and all good, fans blow great but no cooling.
Heater is fine. Checked the refrigerant pressure and its only like 10psi with fans at full speed, it could be a leak? but is it supposed to be low when the A/C wont turn on?

Any troubleshooting/diagnostic tips you can suggest?

It might be a refrigerant leak. I got mine figured out. I bought a refrigerant with a dye on it. Recharged the car using it, let it run for awhile then used a UV flashlight
to detect the leak, the dye will appear florescent under UV. I found the leak was on my A/C Condenser from the fan mount. So I have to change my Condenser.

It's now working!
