Hi all,

It's a standard computer power supply - electrically ATX type, but in
a size for a desktop (not tower) - which makes a cheap source
difficult. Size is WxLxH = 120x155x85 mm.

The brand name is Pro-V Power, model MPT-251 (and MPT-301). It is made
by Marcon.

The MPT-251 failed, so I replaced with MPT-301 which worked for 6
months followed by identical failure.
I am NOT overloading it.

I feel almost CERTAIN the problem is dried out electrolytic capacitors
(probably just one) - but there are so many and it is tight in there.

Look for bulging electro's.
