Is it the PSU (part 2) (to MJC)

[cat_man]

Thanks for the reply.
1. let's say the CPU is dead due to over heating, still the
PSU should have been turned on and I still
could get some reaction from it - if only the "power led" on the front panel. Am I right?
2. What about the process of checking the PSU, by taking it out
and having 5 volt from the +5VBS pin connected for a
moment with the PWR-ON pin of the big connector. Was it the
proper way or do you suggest any other form of testing
the PSU when it is out of the comp? (except of course then taking the PCB out and checking every diode, transistor, capacitor etc ).
