Re: Jaguar repair?
Erik,
To CSI the one Jag with the bulged cap. That occurs when the power input polarity is reversed. Electrolytic capacitors hate having their polarity reversed. As the Jag is not protected for this, there is likely a lot more wrong with it. Call it a paperweight and have done with it. For the other one, closer examination is needed. When Fets short or have metal flakes help in their demise, there is likely other damage that is difficult to see. Things like missing circuit traces that have vaporized or dead FET gate drivers. Some of these issues back up into the power supply chips.
