[QUOTE="Hilux, post: 668968, member: 23052"] Look for round electrolytic capacitors like this; [ATTACH type="full"]10032[/ATTACH] If its been unused look for brown gunk discharged from the base of them onto the circuit board like this; [ATTACH type="full" width="308px"]10034[/ATTACH] If it had been used a lot then sometimes they bulge at the top. [ATTACH type="full" width="315px"]10035[/ATTACH] Sometimes the glue used to stabilise the capacitors against vibration ages and becomes conductive causing issues. Perhaps try to sell it cheap noting it's defect. Someone might want to purchase it as a project. [/QUOTE]
