Do you have any 50 volt capacitors around? If you do, you can substitute it for the bad one to see if the power supply will power up normally. The value really doesn't matter for this test.

Also you can test the two power transistors that are mounted to the bottom of the chassis. Pull off the black plastic plug with the yellow and blue wires and use the diode test function on your meter. The pin where the blue wire connects is the Base, the pin with the yellow wire is the Emitter and the case mounting screw with the red wire is the Collector.

Touch and hold the red meter lead to the Base pin. Touch the black lead to the Emitter pin and note the reading. Next touch the black lead to the red case Collector screw and note the reading. Then reverse the two meter leads and note the readings.

The final test is to touch and hold the red lead to the Collector and the black lead to the Emitter pin. Note the meter reading. Then reverse the two meter leads and note the meter reading.

In no case should you get a zero reading (just like holding the two meter leads together). In one direction you will probably get a reading of about .6 volts and reversed, open circuit (just like when the two meter leads are not touching anything).

Post your readings here and we'll review.
