Hi,

suspect these problems may be due to a leaky capacitor on the power supply
panel. Any suggestions would be appreciated.


If it's not in warranty anymore, what keeps you from carefully opening
the case and inspect all capacitors for obviuous damage (leakage,
burst-open lid) ? Also, I'd check the caps in the powersupply with an
ESR-meter then.
