    Not a bad compromise. I think it is only for software updates, because my one asks to rescan on power-up when there is a change. My one is always left in stand-by, not fully powered up.

    It also adds the thumbnails to new recordings when it powers up at 3am. Couldn't do without that, could we :pac:

    Scrap the cap!

    Well mine finally arrived yesterday and I fitted it today and everything is working perfect again!!
    Before I put the new unit in the box I compared it to the old one and I could see one of the the bigger capacitors had a slight bulge on top...however it was only the one,all the others appeared to me to be ok!
    Hopefully the box will be fine now and I must remember to turn off when not in use
    Thanks.

    Bulging is the first visible sign of pressure inside. Ideally you don't want to wait that long before you replace it! By the time it pressurises, the capacitor is well gone. If you had an ESR meter you'd be able to measure the rest and you'd probably find several more that were faulty (electrically).
