I would check that you don't have shorted rectifier diodes (presumably there's one just near that capacitor) or more likely the main switching mosfet.

The capacitor *may* be damaged, but is unlikely to be the cause for repeated fuse blowing.

Hi,
Thank you for reply....
So, I am going to test all the diods, but what about "the main switching mosfet"? Could you please tell me which one?

OK, a K10A60D is a 600V 10A mosfet. I would check the datasheed for that, and measure the resistance across the drain and source (both ways).

And the K20A60D is a 600V 20A device. Check the same for this.

Note that you need to ensure that the capacitors on the board are not holding a charge or you could (a) damage your meter, or (b) give yourself a very uncomfortable shock.

Having two different devices like this seems to suggest that there are actually 2 independent power supplies on this board. Perhaps there is a standby as well as a main power supply, or perhaps the different voltages are on independent supplies?

Than you *steve* for your help....but after all I decided do not mess around with Power Supply for machine $2000 ....I just bought the new one....
Thank you anyway
