Hello fellow #laserdisk and/or #electronics nerds. I bought a #pioneer CLD-2700 today for scrap pricing. It does not turn on, at all. No standby light, no nothing.
I found a suspiciously rusty looking screw in the psu area that looks suspiciously like electrolyte damage?
Can someone with a bit more experience than me weigh in? I'm pretty comfortable with soldering and such but I'm really not good with analogue electronics or power supplies.
Thanks!

@hp@mastodon.tmm.cx It looks like C216 may have leaked. Electrolyitic capacitors are prone to that. An ohm-meter can tell you if it's shorted, but not if it's lost capacitance due to leaking electrolyte. Switching power supplies are a bit tricky, especially without a schematic.
