Where did you get it? Sounds like a capacitor is gone but I have never changed one in a Super well at least not yet. I dont know wheter there is a C11 cap or something similar on the PSU board, although I would think there is.
hey scouser reading around about this cap issue ,is it caused by power surge,and powering on and off boxes and if it is ,use a protection device on plug and coaxial cable would reduce this problem.

Probably me that said that a long time ago. The caps are affected by current load at start and surge, but they are bad/cheap caps and generally need replacement either way.
