never mind I tore it apart, looked it over and fixed a couple minor issues, it post's but has no video disk or keyboard function, obvious signs were a corroded pin on the power regulator unit which was cleaned and tinned, but there is 2 green sips with lumpy epoxy dipped packages, both have heavy corrosion, and BS generic part numbers, one is right next to the "rgb" output which actually outputs everything BUT rgb, the other is directly after the power regulator
my best guess to what these things are and how to replace them is to scower the parts reference in the manual
this machine is a A2S4000, with basically boils down to power problems tween these two similar components, everything else in the machine is pristine, severe yellow, but ... TN, late July the sun is like a death ray + retroBrite (and while I am at it the 2 compacts I got today too!)
yes I need to replace the E-caps but none of them show physical signs of failure, in fact they are quite well made, tho I cant test them without power, and I would rather get it to boot before dumping $$ on caps
