HSPY-400-01 Bench PSU blows fuse every time switched ON.

Hello,
Does anyone have a schematic for this HSPY-400-01 power supply?

…ours blows the fuse with a loud bang every time its switched ON. It worked fine till three weeks ago.
Whilst I am disassembling it, and taking photos so I can re-assemble afterwards, does anyone know if there  is a common failure mode with this PSU?

I am wondering  if it has a inrush relay which has failed with locked contacts. Its going to take me a while to  disassemble as it has common mode chokes swinging in the gap between upper and  lower main boards, and I am photo’ing it all so I know how to re-assemble it. So I am just  planning ahead.

CDaniel:
That should be a SMPS , many components can fail , from input bridge rectifier to power transistors ... if it blows the fuse , the shorted component shoudn't be very hard to indentify .

rvalente:
Start measuring the obvious components, just like our friend suggeted.

After that, you can add a 60-100W lamp in series, the lamp will glow but, you can now poke around with your multimeter and check for shorts.

nctnico:
For this price I'd buy a new one. And... a power supply specialist shouldn't have a problem diagnosing a switching PSU.

Kleinstein:
At low weight and 400 W is must be a switched mode supply. So chances are there is something broken - if not obvious visible or with experience in such repairs one would probably just buy a new one and not spend much time / money on a repair.

One could do a few in circuit tests on the diodes and power transistors. But even if finding a bad one (e.g. shorted) does not help much as chances are there are more faults.
