Power Supply Failure - Help Request

[Lukazi <lukazi@hotmail.com>]

Hi all,

I have two IIGS power supplies which have failed and I am hoping I can
get them going again. I have some pics of the faults on my blog.

PSU1. Looks like X2 has died and leaked out a brown/orange sticky
substance.

    I wanted to know:
    1. Is this substance toxic to work with.
    2. If I can't clean it all (hard to reach parts) is the heat from
a running power supply going to affect anything.
    3. What would I use to clean it up.

PSU2. When connected to the motherboard the power light flashes on and
off as if it is tripping on too much or not enough load.

    I replaced the large capacitor that had blown it's top but this
has not helped. Still getting the same problem.
    Looking at A2 FAQ I need to do some load testing first.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.




Alex.
