okay, so I changed power supplies, and cleaned it. and turned it on.
within about 30 seconds, it started glowing again. I'm going to have
to assume this is a faulty bypass capacitor. that being the case, can
someone answer my question about that?
should I try to replace the bypass capacitor, unsolder it and solder a
bridge between the two leads, or unsolder it and leave it empty, with
two open leads?
