Ok... Checked all cap and there all the right way around. Stumbled on a dry joint and sorted that out. Fired it up and all lights come on and fan is now spinning. But after a couple of seconds the PG light goes out....
Have checked the voltages and all seem good. Traced the green wire back and it comes to a small daughter board. On which was a dodgy looking transistor and resistor, which checked out ok. But next to it was a TN431 Shunt regulator. That seems suspect (if you can believe [url]http://www.jestineyong.com/how-to-test-adjustable-precision-shunt-regulator-tl431/[/url])....
So it's just the PG light and no fans...??? 
Applied the PSU tester and nothing, and then POP..!!! C44 exploded.
) caps replacing. This is a UK unit and seem's a bit different to some of the pictures I've seen on this forum. But my problem being R117 has got a bit hot and I'd like to replace it. But the colour bands have burnt off (see picture). I don't suppose anyone has the lid off of one of these at the moment and could let me know what value (colour) it is?...
