Hi, gang:
I recently ordered a XIGMATEK 400-W PS (Model PC402) from newegg so I'd have something halfway decent (yet inexpensive) laying around for emergencies, troubleshooting, powering refurb PCs, etc.
I used it to test a PC the other day, and when I connected the PS to my el-cheapo power supply tester, it showed no -5 V output, although all other voltages indicated correctly.
I connected several other junker supplies to the tester to confirm, and each of the other PSs showed -5 V (in addition to all the other usual voltages).
Is this XIGMATEK supply toast?
I haven't tried powering a working PC with it, but I did mention it to XIGMATEK tech support, which hasn't gotten back to me yet about the issue and whether it's RMA-worthy.
What d'ya think?

P.S. I guess I should have tested it prior to the egg's 30-day return period, eh?
