Should there be continuity between the outer legs of the HOT and the heat sink? Even with the HOT removed I am showing continuity between the traces in the PCB and the heat sink. Is this normal? I am trying to track down why my chassis doesn't power up after a flyback/hot swap and thought perhaps there is something grounding out that shouldnt.
 
deoends how its setup im going to guess no. Make sure you used the correct hot and that you properly reinstalled the mica inculator that goes behind the hot.

With the hot pulled i do not believe you should have any continuity between the center pin and the right side outer one.


How this kraps all put togther varies from monitor to monitor there could be a diode bad or a solder bridge someplace, sometimes the things fine and youre chasing nothing.
 
Looking at the schematics.....yes. One leg is connected directly to ground....the other goes through a 47 ohm resistor before ground. It's the center leg you don't want near ground.
