Angry In no state of bliss (Bliss A-394 SFX)

I have another Bliss A-394 PSU, like the one here, but it has a proble. when I attampt to power it on, it briefly starts and shuts off, like there is a short. I've already checked the shcottkys and none of them seem shorted. Any ideas?

No, a re-cap with some nice new pannies and samxons doesn't help. I'm wondering whether it could be a faulty protection which is shutting it down even though there is really nothing wrong.

make sure there are no solder bridges. especially around where you recapped.

Can't find any. I tested all the rails for shorts to ground and to other rails with the DMM and couldn't find any

I have some power supplies that start and stop instantly if they don't have at least a cd-rom/hard drive and some fans connected to them.

Tried it with more load too. Makes no difference.

What IC does this use? You can monitor the protection pins with an analogue meter.

It's a Weltrend WT7510. The datasheet is only 1 page long and not very helpful.

As of this writing, first Google result for WT7510 returns a datasheet with quite a bit more than 1 page...

Thanks for the datasheet. I checked the voltages on the pins with the PSU on standby. Connecting one pin of the DMM to ground, pin 3 (FPL_N) had 4.26v, pin 4 (PDON_N) had 2.52v and pin 7 (VCC) had 4.53v. All others had 0

I treid replacing the secondary schottkys and it ran for about 5 seconds, then there was a "tick" and it died again. Same problem where you only get the quick fan twitch.
