I have ammased a small collection of ex computer SMPSU's which I have blown up by dead shorting the 12v Rail. I use them as audio amp psu's and have little accidents <grn> My question is this Is it likely that the output rectifier diodes alone would have taken a hit { easy fix} or would they merely have passed on the excess current demand to the inner sanctum rendering them practically un-repairable? P.S. I know the dangers inherent in those nasty High voltage caps and I will discharge them sensibly if its worth a punt.
