Hi I just dusted off my TX816 only to find that turning the power on does nothing. No glowing LEDS anywhere. It was working when I put it away. The AC seems to pass through the filter OK so I assume it is the switch mode power supply (dated 1986). Nothing burnt and no visibly leaking caps. There is a 470u 200V electro cap (C7 for those with cct diagrams) with a slightly bulging top. I must confess mucking about in the 240V realm is a bit daunting. What is the best approach to fixing this? What are the most likely failure modes in a switch mode supply? Can I leave the power supply disconnected from the other boards to test it or does it need to be loaded to function correctly? Thanks Royce
