Default power supply "sticks" in current limiting mode

I have a bench supply that looks like this one:

I've seen numerous "brand names" on the same type.


The supply works normally unless the load draws more than a few
milliamps (say 100 or so), in which case it will drop into current-
limiting mode and remain there until I power cycle it, even if the
load is removed.


I suspect this is a pretty simple fix, but since there are so many
rebranded versions of this supply someone might have a schematic that
would speed things up a little. Any ideas? I think it just has 3-4 op
amps inside and a few power transistors.


Well, here's a schematic at least...

Well I see one annoying thing.. whoever made mine swapped the digits
around in the model number to make it "unique." This one looks close
enough anyways. Now if I can just figure out what's going on in there.
