[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 971064, member: 176362"] The Vu is disconnected & sitting in disgrace in the spare room junk pile as it failed a couple of weeks ago! If the box is a few years old it might be worth disconnecting the leads & popping the top off. Study the capacitors (the cylindrical cans with K or T embossed into the top) and see if any have any signs of leaking or the ends distorting especiallay around the incoming power supply. If you do this [U][B]keep your fingers well clear - [/B][/U]no idea about the psu arrangements on that box but modern switched mode power supplies can carry enough charge to spoil your day for quite a while after disconnection from the mains!!
