Thanks for all of the inputs on this issue. I've replaced both of the
100uF caps in the Picstart and am currently running it from a 9-volt
bench supply. It's been working fine all week.

Regarding the 'power brick' caps:=20

Are the 220V supplies constructed so as to be able to be opened?=20

The US version is what I'd call a 'wall wart'. It plugs directly into
a wall socket and is a sealed unit. Do I need to consider firing up my
Dremel and doing some surgery on it?

Thanks, Bob
