Can anyone provide instructions on how to test a power supply using a multimeter. The power supply (astec model aa20610, max.cont.power 145w - no powerhouse by any standards but neither is the pc that it comes from)is most likely a goner as the pc will no longer power up, post, power supply fan doesn't start, etc. The power source is fine as I can power up other pc's. I have a multimeter available but have never used one and would like some/any instructions if you've ever done this before. My multimeter is a simple analog meter with black & red connectors, no digital read out. (Should I turf it and get a digital multimeter? I rec'd this one through my a+ class but we never really used it during the class or anytime afterwards). It has a DCV section with settings from 0.25 to 500, ACV section with settings from 10 to 500, Resistance section settings from x10 to xK, DCmA settings from 0.25 to 500. I don't have any plans on repairing the power supply, I have ordered a replacement and can change that without any help but I would like to learn how to test electrical component to see what I should be looking for when a component does fail. Even if you don't have instructions but know of a good website which may provide this info let me know. I've searched but there's a lot out there. Any help would be appreciated.
