Hi,

My PII motherboard died a week ago - just 4 days after installing - cause
unknown. Of course the vendor replaced it. I was checking whether my SMPS
was giving correct voltage before I plugged in the new motherboard. The
voltage outputs were all right but I found that the pin giving -5 V DC was
giving the same voltage even after switching off. I was wondering if that is
normal.

The SMPS is AT type. Also there is leakage current in the case enough to
give a good shock. The leakage occurs only when load is connected (ie
motherboard).
