Last year, I repaired my A1000's original power supply by replacing all of the electrolytic caps in it. It was running great for a very long time. It was powered off for most of this year, but I've just started trying to use that machine again, but I ran into a problem...
I can power the machine on and use it fine. Warm boots are no problem. After a few minutes of use, if I power cycle it, it won't turn on at all. The fan spins, but that's 110v. Power light is off, machine is dead.
I did probe the board a little and found that some power was making its way through, but not to the power output connector. No sign of anything burnt out, all components look fine.
If i wait overnight and try again, then it works without changing anything. (same peripherals attached, etc.)
Do any of you have a suggestion? I'd rather repair this than just drop in a new switcher and figure out the tick circuit...
