The guy finally tested it and it did not do the job.
 
 
The good news is he was able to get a good, used unit locally.
 
 
So his shop has two working units.

Recently I had a power supply in a computer that was going bad. It
wouldn't work properly until it was warm. I replaced it but before I
did I found that directing the warm air from a blow dryer through the
fan and warming the power supply would allow it to turn on. Once on it
would stay on. The hair dryer was a good way to determine that it was
the power supply and not the computer itself that was the problem.
Advice from the folks on the group helped too.

Probably some bad capacitors in the supply.
 
I had a piece of equipment with a power supply that had lots of
capacitors in it. I found the bad ones by directing the hot air from my
hot air rework station at them. I may have replaced some that were ok,
but they are inexpensive compaired to a new supply. Actually can not
get a new one, but a company repaires them for about $ 150.
