[colug-432] mostly dead switch — diagnostics for fun

[Jeff Frontz]

I'm not an EE, but it seems like your momentary "dead short" is a cap
charging (one perhaps intended to smooth out spikes/sags from cheap wall
warts).

And I think you want to measure your wall-wart's output with a load on it
(otherwise, it seems like the circuitry could be hunting around to figure
out what is really required downstream).
