  No, but it's simple to diagnose if you are technically inclined.  In

the components, it takes hardly any time to find which component is
faulty.  Could be a cap, transistor or IC component causing it.
Adjustment isn't going to do any good, you need to track down the bad
part.

Thank you for your advice; I will try it out.
