Hello all. Several months ago, I received a computer with a bad PSU. The computer didn't turn on at all. Further testing revealed that the 5VSB rail and PS_ON were present, but upon shorting PS_ON to GND to force the unit to start up, all the rails went dead.
I've done some thinking recently and I'm wondering if this is a common sign of one of the secondary switchers being shorted. Any thoughts?
FYI, not trying to repair this right now, but I'm keeping it around as a potential repair project for when I get some decent soldering equipment.
TIA
