Hi,

I've checked the capacitor - and the DMM readout matches the
specification - it's 100uF and it reads between 100 - 102 uF - perfect.
No signs of leakage that occurs sometimes in power supply caps over time.

The problem is intermittant - so it may be an intermittant capacitor - I
will replace it and let you know what happens. However because of the
DMM readout matching the specification so perfectly, I am pretty sure
this isn't the problem.

Does anyone out there know of a good reference for step down
transformers - specifications? I've heard of sams facts, but need to
know where I can purchase a copy.



You can't test electrolytic caps with a dmm, if at all in doubt, just
replace it as they're cheap.
