Now I've got continuity between all the outputs, that's not normal is it?
I cant see anything bridged that wasnt bridged before
Phihong power problems
Re: Phihong power problems
If the caps are discharged they will measure as a short until they start to charge up. DMM's are no good, you need oldskool Avo type meters to test such things.

Just because a lot of people agree on something, doesn't make it a fact. ~exxos ~
People should find solutions to problems, not find problems with solutions.

Re: Phihong power problems
Good to know, thank you. I've been checking and re-checking the board against the pictures
Gutted I missed the post, eager to get these load resistors and find out if it's this or the motherboard
Re: Phihong power problems
Alrighty, so got my resistors and all the things I need to plug them in an test them. PSU seems fine, 11.8 and 5.0, so seems this there might be a problem on the motherboard. I'll start inspecting that again later.
At least I know the psu isn't likely to damage it further, thank you for all your help.
Re: Phihong power problems
Success!
Well, hopefully. I went over the motherboard, cleaned a few places I'd missed, but didnt find any metallic debris, maybe it was those poor joints on the psu.
