can u pls help me point out the trouble in the atx psu i am trying to
repair. it powers up but its voltage is lower than its specifications.
yellow wires- (only +7.5 volts, should be +12v, red wires - only 2
volts, should be +5 v). what could be the problem and where do i start?

Under what conditions? In the PC or on the bench? Does it have a load?
Is the 115/230 VAC switch set correctly? Did the problem happen on its
own or did someone just give you the power supply? Etc.
