The increasingly common 'bulging' capacitor issue?
I've just replaced a couple of electrolytics in my bathroom extractor fan to fix erratic behaviour as it neared the end of the timer interval. I've also fixed a computer monitor that way when it became difficult to turn on and off.
At least it's easy to see where the problem is.
