This Zalman ATX PSU was bought back in 2003 by a friend and I got it in 2008. I've been using it on a daily basis since then. I always disconnect it from power at night.
Since past week I noticed that it didn't want to start from cold state. After a while it eventualy started normally, but this "while" was growing everyday.
This PSU has been never serviced. Not bad considering it has quite a few TEAPO's:

Nothing bloated. I check ESR and I find abnormal reading (>2Ω) in a TEAPO 1000uF/10V, from 5V standby rail. Replaced both TEAPO from that rail and working.
A rather sentimental repair.
