I have one of these boxes which has demonstrated some classic symptoms. It frequently fails to power-on, and dumps out unexpectedly. There's a 1000uf/6.3v cap (Choyo) which has popped its plug and dumped froth close to the RAM slot, and all six of the 1000uf/25v caps near the PSU feed are showing substantial bulging of the vents.
I can locate replacement 1000/6.3v caps (on order
), but can't find anything like a 1000/25 at 10mm diameter - they're packed in very tightly in this small form factor case... I don't think I can...
