You suspect that a power supply is faulty but you use a multimeter to measure its voltage output and find it to be acceptable Why is it still possible that the power supply may be faulty?
Yes, it can be faulty. Some damaged power supplies show good output voltages on the voltage range of a multimeter but, when you connect them, they don't work properly. One possible reason is that maybe an IC in its voltage regulator has a high resistance between the common and the output. You cannot see this by shunting a voltmeter onto it. You have to place a typical load onto the output to test it.
