Hi Christian

Many thanks for the steer - I had hoped that it might be something like this.  Was
surprised that the failed component did not heat up / smoke.

 No joy, it emitted a couple of squeaks from the power supply and that 
 was it.  
 If the power supply squeaks most probably there is a short on one of the 
 outputs; perhaps a shorted tantalum or electrolytic?
