Anyone familiar with an HP DPS-800GB-A power supply?

Mine has starting problems - I found that it is necessary to short Pin 31 to 34, which I did to get the 12V rail going - The fuse and fans are good - I replaced the two [large] 270 mF caps [nothing changed] - There is a click [I assume a relay] when it DOES start.

More DPS-800GB prodding - - -
I have the PS completely out of its case and sitting on my work bench - Every time I apply power I hear a faint click - If it does start, there is a much louder click [I think from an imbedded relay] - Applying input power from 80 to 140 VAC makes no difference as to whether it starts; neither does the line/neutral polarity - The PS starts an average of about 1 out of 4 times when AC power is applied -

All help is appreciated, Jack
