[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 906970, member: 199791"] Yep, failing capacitors can produce all kinds of odd behaviour in electronics, from sound faults to complete failure to power up the device (E.G. the old sky receiver "stuck in standby" fault), I need to re-cap my two Amiga A600s (just need to get myself a decent soldering iron first since my last one died), they started exhibiting odd behaviour, one would pay FDD sounds back through the audio channels, the other would randomly fail to start up, both of which had the same failed caps, so, they're getting upgraded to Tantalum caps where possible... :) [/QUOTE]
