I got this Pyramid PB-400a which uses STK4040XI chips. Power Supply works when the rectifiers are pulled and outputs a healthy +40V. When the PS is connected, it oscillates on and off and a pulls heavy amount of current.
So question is, how do I troubleshoot whether the STKs are good or not?
If they are bad, I'm gonna send it back to the seller for refund, or at least try and get most my money back and see if I can find replacements.
TIA!

Google the data sheet for it, my guess is the output stage inside the chip has failed and is now shorted which you should be able to read with a meter.
