TT24 Constantly Turning Off and Re Booting

[csp]

If anyone is still reading this forum and ha0 experienced the desk initially booting as expected then after about (say) 45 secs it down powers then about 5 secs later it re boots for possibly about 15 secs then repeats the shutting down re-booting process continually.

I am presuming that it is a power supply problem (possibly a failed capacitor), but does anyone know for certain what the problem is.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also has anyone had any experience with the onboard effects not working --- I am presumimg that it is going to be a dirty ribbon cable as the desk has not been used for a number of years and when I collected it the desk was set up on a table in a some what dirty country shed.

A dirty cable could also possibly be the cause of the power switching problem.

Any advice on both matters will be greatly appreciated.
