Hello, I need some advice, What would cause a Switching power Supply to loose some voltage?
When testing under light load it has 5.1 volts,(PC fan ect..) but if I load it with a game board, or even a 6 volt light, the power output is only around 3.6 volts.
I replaced all of the Filter caps, along with some other parts, just to get it working this far, it was dead on the + and - 5 lines when I got it.
This is for a Space invaders PII color I have, so it has the built in Power on reset, so changing to a generic switcher would maybe not work the best.
