Hi Jeroni,

After the "Hello" disappears, everything works just fine.

BTW, I bought this NEW on 10-25-05.


If it had electrolytics going bad I would expect it to boot faster when
warm after it has been running for a while.
If it doesn't it could still be a failed electrolytic whose function is
not critical for operation, sometimes such capacitor will have a bulged
top or leak.

A Freeview PVR I had to recap the PSU failed again after about a year - it
had been flaky coming out of standby and eventually wouldn't at all. It
turned out to be a small electrolytic I'd missed the first time. It was on a
low current always on 12V rail.
