Strange thing happening with my home theater system. The red on

Any clue what's going on here? Thanks in advance for any help you
can provide.

Either one of the secondary-side electrolytics is failing, or one of
the secondary side rectifiers is leaky. Either way, get it sorted soon
as, because if the regulation fails because of the main rail appearing
to be low, much other damage can be done to LSIs elsewhere in the
machine.

Thanks for your help. I hate to waste, but since they don't cost that
much these days, I'm thinking I'll just replace it.

Thanks again.

Well, for the sake of a few pennies worth of caps I would have thought
it was worth a go at least. Otherwise, what was the point of asking the
question on here ?

Maybe the OP was looking for some magic incantation to render or perhaps
a sprinkle of holy water to cast out the demons?
