That capacitor trick my mentor swore by ended up saving me 3 hours on a dead power supply last night
Old Mike from the shop down the street told me to always check the 400V caps first in switched supplies. I figured he was just being lazy but after chasing a blown fuse for 2 hours I finally pulled the big cap and sure enough it was reading 0 ohms. Has anyone else found that the obvious fix is usually the right one?
