My good friend LDSishere made a DM311 5vsb mod circuit board for me. I installed parts and installed the new board on a recently acquired Bestec ATX-250 12E. This is the mother board killer power supply until retrofitted with a 5vsb modification such as this. I began by removing capacitors and removing glue, some of which had turned black and was obviously causing leakage problems. After replacing the old Jamicon capacitors with mostly Nichicon PW series, I applied power. Nothing. Very frustrating after all that work. Troubleshooting, I determined that the 5vsb transformer feedback winding was not delivering any voltage to the pwm chip. Bestec "12E" transformers are scarce and hard to find. So................
