I can add a "me too".? My power supply died in 2009 and I paid someone to fix it, it just died again and this time I decided to tackle it myself this time.
So far I've confirmed that was the problem by providing +15V from an external bench supply as suggested in the PDF.? That made it possible to turn on and all of the self tests passed!? (Whew !)
Two possibly new pieces of information for anyone running into this problem:
1. After disconnecting the bench supply and turning the power "off" I still measure a perfect 15.00 volts on standby and it turned back on successfully.
2. My green LED still lights up even with the bad +15v (I measured 4.9V), but it's a LOT brighter at 15V.? So if your LED is still lit do not assume that the cap on the standby board is not the problem.
