The motherboard connector might have some pins with two wires connected to them: the thinner wire is a voltage regulating line. The +12 and +5 lines at least, should have them. You can try cutting those, but I don't think it's going to be any help.
You're trying to force them on with some kind of load, right?

Umm all you have to do is jump the power on wire (green in one supply and grey in the other) with the ground.
Fires them right up. The one I replaced the blown cap stays on just fine, it is the other one that turn off. It was doing this while attached to the computer aswell, thats how I found out it was messed up and ended up killing a perfectly good Epox 8K7A thinking it was the board becuase the supply would fire up and then stop. The fans and the lights on the comp would go on then stop. Same thing hppens to the power supply fan when I jump the power on with the ground, fires up then slowly stops. Maybe this supplu has advanced overload protection as opposed to the other? Still wouldn't explain why it wouldn't work with the Epox board though.
