Is there a way to bench test Octane power supply?

Show all headers | View raw

Hi.  Doesn't look like these groups get used much any more, but I thought I'd try...

I have an Octane (original) that worked when I put it out in my shop years ago.  Sitting on a concrete floor doesn't seem to have been good for it -- it's a bit discolored on the metal surfaces.  When I plug it it, I hear a relay click and the whine of a switching regulator, but pressing the power button has no result.

Before I start getting parts to swap things out, I'd like to know, is there a way to bench test the power supply?  I have disassembled the power supply and see nothing wrong; the fuses are all good.  If I can trigger the power supply on, I can at least eliminate that as the problem and start looking elsewhere.

Thanks,
Steve
