Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how
you look at it, the PSU repair is under warranty, which means I can't do it myself
without invalidating the warranty, so I will have to send it back. I don't know if the
ripple is caused by the blown part, but I suppose it is likely. I may be able to inspect
it without breaking the seals.
That sort of thing would make me very suspicious as to what they've
done inside the PSU that they don't want you to see.
Pretty much every electronic device I have ever bought had seals on
it and a notice that breaking the seals voided the warranty. Even
stuff with easily replaceable (or upgradeable) components. Nothing
unusual here.
