My friends 5620 PS has died. AS far as I could see from visiting other forums this happens quite often when these boxes reach a certain age.
It also seems that the problem is that some of the capacitors give up. Spending 60 Euros for a replacement power unit when all the problem is due to some very cheap commonly available components seems not right to me.
My question is, has anyone gone and replaced the capacitors? Any useful information before I get the soldering iron out?
Cheers
