    It's likely that this is a problem with the capacitors, often the components that fail due to their age.

    The good thing is that, depending on how they failed, they are replaceable and we have folk with that kind of skillset here-abouts!

    Hopefully one of them might be able to help you out!

    Hello thanks for answering, it is a Lynx 1, the diode and the mosfet are fine, otherwise the device would not turn on, I have two sets, which clean very well and place and remove many times and it remains the same, as I mentioned before, turn on, do a "knock!" noise and it stays on, but only that
