I have found the voltage under threshold isolating one
by one the output of
the four comparator (desoldering the pin) and there is two voltage out of
range : +12V is 11V and -12V is 10V. In fact the two comparator of the two
voltage, if connected, shut down the power supply.
Do you have anough load on the _+5V_ supply? Remember, these supplies
regulate the 5V output (that's the one that's fed back to the error
amplifier on the 3524 chip), and the other outputs follow along. If you
don't give the 5V supply enough load, the supply doesn't have to 'work
very hard', and the other outputs tend to be low.
Alos check the output capacitors. A dried up one will cause all sorts of
problems.
