Also, as I was testing the PSU, one of the RIFA caps exploded, filling my room with smoke and cover the PCB in tars. Horrible
Welcome to the club.
Even if you have removed all the RIFA caps now, there are still electrolytics of unknown status, so here is my PSA for the day:
*** Do wear eye protection when working on power supplies or other high-energy electronics ***
(And, please, don’t think the mere presence of an isolation transformer makes mains voltages suddenly safe to work on, neither with respect to electric shocks nor with respect to unplanned high-energy short-circuits..)
