Technika 21.5" LED 22-248COM (215 189G) Stuck on standby.

My DVD combi has decided that it doesn't want to come out of standby, I've tried with both the remote and the buttons on the side, switched off and unplugged over night but has made no difference.

I'm guessing from looking at other threads that it may be a problem with capacitors but I don't know where to start to be brutally honest.

Good news is I do own a Multimeter thankfully and insulated tools (VDE 1000V) and I know a few people who are very good at soldering.

I think it may be a UMC Brand, W215-189G–GB-2B-FTCDU-UK as flicking through it's online manual looks exactly the same.

A good first step would be posting pictures of the boards inside the set so we can see what we're dealing with.

Note exact symptoms - does power light change colour/state/flash, is this the same as before, did it slowly get worse or just suddenly fail?

Standby light just stays red, it failed suddenly.

Update, it's seems that it may be something to do with charging a PS3 controller off the USB port.

Strange thing is that it's been plugged in for at least 2 months.
