good day,

well i have here atx compaq psu that only spins its fan a second then
stops.its first symptoms was low voltage. I measure the voltage on red
- +4 , yellow - +9 should be +12. Now when i try to turn it on again,
it only produces a jolt of energy then fan stops. is it a shorted
component on the secondary side? other possibilities.

regards,

ian

Could be capacitors. The smoothing caps and/or the small value electrolytics
in the regulator circuit.

Do you have a proper load on the supply?

i worked on a compaq recently that did the same thing.
it didn't like having a second cdrom(burner).
it worked fine with either drive but as soon as i put both in it would
power on for half a second then shut down.
i decided to leave out the cdrom and it worked fine.
have you tried it with just the floppy connected to see if it posts?

More probably the first : smoothing caps on the secondary sides, make sure
you mount low-ESR caps, you can gett them from another power supply with
another fault, (i.e. : an irreparable esemplar)
