unity - been looking at the 614-0039   model and  614-0060 - cant see any difference....still don't know what to do

-

techknight - thanks for the info - appreciate it - but as usual I havnt a dam clue what MOV's are - are they the varistors?.  main filters are the big 470uf caps?...just checked for a short and no beep on either 470uf caps.

-

what about the rectifier.....it looks like it has a burn mark on the back......could I do damage by trying it again.....is there a way to check if it is ok with just a multimeter?

-

looking at the rest of the psu I have the feeling it is ok...no proof...just a feeling......I think the power got no further than the damaged components

-

the brother in cork has promised me an osiloscope...and said he would show me how to use it.....

edit - metal oxide varistor....mov.......im becoming too dam lazy and asking too many questions.........google is awesome .....sorry for the laziness people
