Ahh, someone else mentioned a built in load to ensure that the power
supply will start up properly when not connected into a system.
The fundamental problem with power supply testers is that they don't
place a PSU under realistic working conditions. I find that many PSU
are totally unable to supply their rated power and maintain their rated
voltages at full load.
I know of several issues that can cause problems under certain
conditions. One PSU that I dealt with caused DECT phone communications
failure in several adjacent properties !! The computer in question
worked just fine without any apparent ill effect.... Until the owner
decided to go wireless broadband !!!
