Re: Panasonic SC-BT230 Blu-ray Home Cinema

Old thread, but most of the issues I've seen on these is with the 10uF 50v caps, usually C5726 near the heatsink, but I generally replace C5798 as well.

I'm guessing the extra heat put out by the power supply when these things are configured to "fast boot" (i.e. not really power off) is baking C5726 since it's right under that heatsink and gets no air flow. Not really the best design.
