i replaced all the cap's, little of a pain in the butt,

they were in-fact all leaking.

except for the 16v 47, but i replaced that one anyways,

none of the caps were bulging by the way...

plugged it in and turned it on checked voltages

+12 -good

+5 -good

-5 - good

i thought success!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then installed the psu into the LC, and then it just went tick tick tick

pulled it back out and checked the Voltages again

none of the voltages were good, they were 1.3v on the 12v

and like .3v on the +5v

so i am not sure what is going on here... i checked the Bridge and the big cap, it sits at 160v so i know atleast the high side is working

the only thing left is the transformer, Can bad caps melt the wires in a transformer, then making it internally short?

or could this be transistor or voltage regulator issue?

thanks for any help.
