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

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,

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 ?

Arfa

Indeed, did he think it could be fixed magically and at no cost via usenet?

No, I wasn't looking for a magic fix, but rather some ideas that I
could maybe try. I'm not an expert, so I don't even know what it
meant by trying the "caps".
Why the cynicism?
