[sdiy] Disassembling MKS-70 Power Supply

[Bob Weigel]

I don't recall off the top the circuit details but common problems are 
regulator solder joints on those.  If it shuts off after a few seconds 
that MIGHT be the problem..  On the other hand could be some leaking 
electrolytic or something.  But you have to pull a few things out as I 
recall to get that board out.  Get under there and verify the solder 
before you go to a lot of research time though and I'll bet you'll find 
the problem. If you have an esr meter it's nice to check the caps. -Bob
