Re: 7104 SMPS no start troubleshooting
Happy ending: the problem was the fan wiring all along. I rearranged it before I inserted the SMPS for the last time, and we have life.

Re: 7104 SMPS no start troubleshooting
It's the fan. If I pull on the power leads that go to the fa, the SMPS will start. Maybe something's rubbed up in there. Have to take a look.

Re: 7104 SMPS no start troubleshooting
Most, if not all, of the boards have "harmonica connectors" for the supply input. When I am faced with this, I connect the ohmmeter at the PSU perhaps, and, noting the resistance, remove the
