I dug out my old Portastudio 7 to use as a mixer, but found that the power LED didn't come on and there was no sound from the headphones. The tape controls were working but I don't have any tapes to check whether there was any sound from the tape deck. I took the back off and one of the bigger caps on the bottom board (C609) had clearly gone. I replaced that but it's just the same as before - there's power to the tape drive but it doesn't look like it's getting anywhere else. The connectors all look OK. I don't think the unit will have been used with the wrong power adaptor. I have the original, which is putting out 20V into a multimeter.
Is there a usual suspect I should check out next, or would it be a case of checking absolutely everything?
Thanks
