Anyhow, this is just to say that if you don't put the load resistor, it can (and it did, on my case) blow up. In my case, I think it was an electrolytic cap... FYI, I blew it before I read anything. When it blew then I went looking for the reason... It is not that I was suicidal :) Anyhow, PSUs are so cheap that I don't feel like spending time fixing it.
