A2000 300W BigFoot Power supply

@DoomMaster, please don't call others possessions "JUNK ! ", it is offensive.

And as a so called "professional" you should realize that power supplies are only to be serviced by qualified persons. There are others that will read your posts (the unexperienced and kids) that do not have the knowledge needed to understand what can be touched and what should not.

Warning label # 1 on A2000 power supply reads...

CAUTION: DISCONNECT POWER
You neglected to state this in your advice, and even with power disconnected you will still get a very nasty zap if you short the wrong contacts.

Warning label # 2 inside of A2000 power supply on transformer reads...

DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE

Warning label # 3 on heatsink reads...

CAUTION Hazard of Electric Shock-Heatsink is Live !

The A2000 power supply contains two 200 volt caps
that'll give a real jolt even days after having no power supplied, so it is ill advice to tell complete strangers in a public forum to go digging into a power supply.

Advice like yours will get some unexperienced person or kid hurt. This is a public forum, please keep that in mind when you post advice.

Well DON'T ! they are just your opinions NOT FACTS !
Nobody should have to suffer your opinions as Facts .

" I AM qualified to work on power supplies"

So what if you are !

Others, that may heed your advice are not. This is a public forum with people of all ages and even all levels of intelligence.You should not assume that everyone comprehends the dangers of high voltage electronics.

"The 200 volt caps will not hurt you because there is not enough current"

 I don't care if you think there is not enough current . As Piru said above, you do not know the conditions of other peoples health.

"they may zap you one time"

And that's all it would take.

"but that is all"

No , that is not all.

"I did NOT "neglect" anything."

Yes you did. You did neglect to give fair warning not to attempt to service power supplies unless you know what you are doing. Any professional would know to give this safety advice in a public forum.

Quote...

"COMMON SENSE should tell people to unplug the power cord before working on a power supply!"

Emergency wards are full of people without common sense.

 It seems to me that your post in a public forum lacked the COMMON SENSE to include any warning what so ever.

Nuff Said .
