I had a psu like this only it was the 250W model with a separte 12V DC output. The pcb is the same anyway.
Seemed to be a simple standby problem at first... just replace two bad caps and done.
But the psu has more serious problems. The standby voltage is pulsing between 2-4 Volts, even some ac voltage is present. Same for the pson signal. Maybe the controller is bad, but I suspect that the feedback is not working and I have to point out the faulty component. It's hard to diagnose this without a scope, but since the the backlight died on my 5 month old Voltcraft I have to wait until it gets "repaired".
So, I'm going to check the primary and secondary side for bad parts in the standby and feedback path. I be glad if it would be just some small resistor, diode or cap and not some active components.
