Symptom: The front panel didn't light up. So let's open it.
Start check the simple things first, temperature fuse continuity? OK, any swollen capacitors? nope!
Next, power it up and check is there any output before (AC) and after the bridge (DC)? YES.
Regulator (7805) output? NO! Found it. Input is about 14V but no output
This is the power supply for the front panel circuit board.
Desolder it out an do a quick test by it an 12v input
No output at all, compare with the new one
Put it back together again, plus a heat sink to the 7805 regulator. This might prevent it from overheating again, I hope so.
