When measuring the output voltage of a power supply (regulated or not),
you should do so with a load on it.  Without a load, the measurement
isn't an accurate reflection of what it really does.  It doesn't have to
be much of a load, but it should have something on it.

As for the original post by Paul, couple things you can check.  First,
check to be sure it has the latest firmware:
/system routerboard print

If you are in the 3.x series, upgrade to 3.30 and 4.17 for 4.x.  If
running 5.x (I seem to recall you weren't), use the latest there as
well.  After the ROS upgrade, be sure to check the firmware again.

Someone else posted about the caps, but I've heard that the 493 boards
are not as bad as the 411s, but still may have some problems.
