Hey Mord,
Thanks for the detailed info, which confirms repair info I’ve discovered elsewhere.
My first experience at a real world auction resulted in my acquiring a “Cello E1906DVB [which] wont come off standby” for a friend. Now I’d like to get it working for her, with a little help from the kindness of strangers [1]. So I think the first thing I need to know is exactly where the dodgy capacitors are located.
Here’s a detailed picture of the Cello E 1906DVB’s LP190403 PSU:

Could you please:
1. Take a copy of the photo
2. Annotate it with the position of the “the 12v output 1000uf 16v capacitors that have failed” (eg: with OpenOffice.org Draw [2])
3. Upload your annotated photo (to, eg: Photobucket, Flickr [3]) and add a link to a reply in this thread.
For example: here’s an example of marking up the suspect capacitors; NB: these are most likely NOT the “the 12v output 1000uf 16v capacitors that have failed” – this is merely an illustration of how their actual correct location could be illustrated by somebody who DOES know their where they are

Thanks in advance for your time, attention, and kindness.
Share and Enjoy, Dainian
