Not really a surprise it was a bad power supply, those cheap one's in various products go bad all the time and don't tend to last past a few years before dying. Regardless nice to see the internals of the device, and how cost-effectively it is put together based on the design and build of it, seems super simple.
Yeah, bad caps. Shocker. You'd figure they'd have learned from the capacitor plague era, but maybe the problem was yet to be widely known when this was made (it is rather old, after all). Plenty of much newer devices still end up with bad caps, so I guess they just don't care if it saves two cents per device.

@@fsfs555 Guess they don't learn lol. Got to have the mass production volume and keep costs down you know ; ))
Is possible add hdmi and turn this thing in a mini monitor?
