I had low voltages (as measured on the Floppy port) on the 5V line in my SE/30. The SE power supply is the Sony branded version. Anyway, I found leaky caps inside the PS, and replaced all of the electrolytics. But, after the recap, I still have low voltage on the 5V line. I turned the adjustment pot all the way (post recap) and only get 4.6V. It's enough to boot the machine OK, but any PDS cards draw the voltage down to 4.2V and the machine will not boot. This is on a proven recapped motherboard.
I can't find any info on troubleshooting these guys post capacitor replacement. Anyone know any next steps? Could the Analog Board be pulling the voltage down? I haven't yet replaced the capacitors on that.
