[QUOTE="Llew, post: 733474, member: 175007"] Something you can easily do is a visual inspection of the power supply board. Two areas are particularly prone to failure - the electrolytic capacitors (the black cylindrical objects in the power supply). If any of these show signs of bulging it will lead to a failure over time and will need to be replaced. The other problem is a 'hot spot' or burning under a resistor ( about a quarter of the way down from the back of the board and in the middle) which can easily be recognised by removing the power supply - two screws on the right of the board - the one on the left of the receiver - and two screws holding the motor terminal at the rear of the receiver. Check these points and let us know if you see anything suspicious. [/QUOTE]
