Well, my trusted Agilent DSO-X 2012A quit on me this morning after an hour of work. Darrn... in the middle of something of course. 
Called Agilent Tech Support and they were awesome in helping me to find a new one (Thanks bud R.R.!).
Anyway... since that bean is already bad, why not open it and see if I can fix it? Sorry no pics this time around. However here is the fix:
* Fuse F1 blown 250V 6.3V mini
* Main filter capacitor dead short and hot as @#$%^! 420V 100uF
Took the main filter cap out, checked for other shorts or opens on the PSU and I didn't find any. Replaced the fuse and the main filter cap with parts out of my bin and all is O.k.
Happy ending at least. Back to work.
Cost: Zero $$$
