  Hi all,

  Mine seems to be fixed! Installing the PSU was literally a 5-minute job, and the Emax II turned on and played when I tested it.

  I may have been imagining it, but it also seemed quieter. Possibly the old PSU was making a noise.

  I'll send pictures later on.

  Highly recommended.

  D.

  Got mine today! Very fast shipping from Miami to Sweden I must say,
  1 week. =) I will try to install it in my Emax II tonight.
  Hope its just to replace the old PSU without modifications
  to this "new" unit. My old PSU is actually working fine. Its just that
  whining sound that comes when i load from the HD that worries me.
  So if anyone wants to buy my old PSU and fix it up or something you can contact me.

  Great to hear that all worked out for you Daniel!
  Was it just to replace to the PSU straight off?
  Just replace and reattach the cables?

  Electrolytic caps have a number of failure modes.
  They can leak the dielectric and that either appears on the PCB or the top of the cap (which is what yours look like).
  The cap can swell and distort the case, easy to spot on the top. Even the rubber bung at the bottom can pop out.

  They can dry out as well which usually you can't spot.

  They can sometimes develop a short although you would know from the smell and sometimes the bang.

  And some other not so obvious failure modes as well.

  Sometimes they exhibit these signs but still work, but it is better to replace them.

  Electros can fail even if the unit is unplugged in the cupboard unused for a few years.

  Don't know anything about electronics, can get help? Start by replacing the caps , electrolytic ones first.

  Word of warning............
  capacitors store charge.
  Electrolytic ones (as the are usually a high value) can store a lethal charge.
  The electro caps in a some types of power supplies are across mains voltage. Here in Australia this is 240v and can kill you even after the power is turned off. You need to wait for it to discharge and check it with a volt meter.

  Sounds like replacing the whole PS was the right thing to do.
