No power at all. Removed back and metered both fuses and beeps on both. Do these have to be removed to test or is there something else I need to be looking at? No bulging caps.

I did also notice when plugging into outlet, there's a relay click but no lights or power.

Check the Mosfets in the PS for short.

Ok, thanks!

Only time I've ever had dealing with mosfets was in an xbox 360. Im a bit confused as I tested what I thought were mosfets but the only one that beeped on the multimeter was actually a shottky barrier diode. What should I be looking for on here? I think I'm missing something 😕

Probably it will have a permanent resistive load in the PSU (but only older PSU's have it), then the solution for testing is desoldering. Or, is a special MOSFET with a Schottky diode in antiparallel, normally used for syncronous rectifying.

So I should take it off the heat sink and remove from board before testing? It's a YG862C15.

According with the data, is simply a Schottky diode. But in doubt, desolder some terminal, or remove them. To be sure if is not a subsequent circuit having trouble (like a post buck regulator going do-do).
