Hi Paul

I see you pre-charged the caps checked the voltage then removed the resistor. Was there still voltage on the caps then? If not then one of the MOSFET's may have already been bad. It could have been damaged from soldering. Or bad right out of the box.

Mine is still working. It has been in use for over 3 years.

Thank You Very Much

Alvin
