Ultra V-series ULT-400P - worth even trying to fix?

[Bookworm]

I haven't actually tried a full multimeter and jumpering the gadget, simply because I don't know if it's worth the trouble.

I have a Thermaltake power supply tester (+5V, -5V, +3.3V, -12V, +12V, PG, +5VSB )

When plugged into this power supply (which already has a bad fan - it started drooping, then started beating against the grill - which I then removed until I could get a replacement into it), all the tester shows is +5VSB.

The entire thing is filled with Su'scon capacitors, except for the two huge 680uf/200v, which are JEE brand.

Should I even _bother_ with it, or just pitch it in the recycle bin?

I can do photos if it would help, but I didn't want to bother if it wasn't worthwhile.

I won't be able to answer your question, but I think a photo will help some of the people here evaluate how well it's built. If it's really light, then it must have only the minimal components installed and it's probably junk.

Okay - I'll get those taken and up by this evening, if I can.

It's actually pretty heavily built, like a mirror image of the Antec SL300S 300W, in the first post of the Power supply build quality pictorial thread.

Just with Su'scon caps.
