    Fortron 530W repair

    lo there,
    as some of you already know, from the original Fortron 530W thread, my en PSU had died on me, & i can't RMA it.
    so i'll try to 'repair' it!
    any way, this is the problem:
    > if i run the PSU alone, & measure the +12.0v/+5.0v/+3.3v i get some very very low values on the +12.0v & +5.0v ones. the +3.3v isn't that bad. (+11.01v / +3.7v / +3.31v)
    > if i run the PSU with some 'load', talking about about 6 old/bad HDD's & 2 floppy drives, i get a 'better results' like: +11.88v / +5.3v / +3.3v .
    > now here is the most interesting part, if i run the same as the above, but with a 333MHz Celli & Slot1 MoBo & 128MB SDRAM, i get the following: +7v / +0.3v / +2.8v. & if i turn the system OFF, via MoBo, i get -5.0v on all rails!

    so can anyone of you tell me what's going on?! i didn't use the sucka more than 48H & it did fry my NF7-S/FX5600 !!!!!

    thanks in advance.


    PS, i suspect that one of the main Caps is dead. take a look:
