Hi Peter,

I think that its the two surface mount capacitors near the fuse
terminals. Is it simply the case of removing them by de-soldering the two
contact points on either side of the caps ?

Regards

To test the capacitors you will need an ESR meter.

An alternative for using an ESR meter is to use a oscilloscope to watch
the
signal over the capacitor when the device is powered on. If the capacitor
is good you should see no or only a very small signal.
