Hi there.
I have a C128DCR that I got running when I replaced one of the slow blow fuses. It was running great for, oh a good 45 mins before a plume of smoke and droplets of dark brownish amber was found on the mobo. I am certain I have narrowed it down to a PSU cap that has blown since that's where I found most of the residue (plus the orange jacket that shrouded it was split). I am wondering if someone here is willing to replace all four of the caps on the PSU board as a matter of course with preferably better quality ones (Eg. Panasonic)?
Here's a pic of the PSU:
Shouldn't be too hard as it all fairly big blobby soldering, nothing SMD.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. If I could get a PM that would be helpful as I don't have much time to browse the forums nowerdays.
