Fixing a new Astro psu?

[scgon]

So... My Astros have gone weak on me, voltage maxes out at 4.75v, how do I fix this?

I cleaned up the contacts and it made a difference but still can't get the full 5v....

What are the options? Effectiveness?

Change the caps in it.

Ok cool, will do that, thanks

Anything tricky in there?

Pop it open and check for bad caps. Could even your voltage adjust pot.

How are your 12v and -5v readings?

 

[scgon]

Voltage adjust is maxed.... 12v was a little low and -5 was a bit high on one which was a surprise

Double check for bad diodes and transistors and resistors, next.
