[Coco] Died from old age?

[Bill Pierce]

My Coco 3 did the same thing last year, luckily, I had a 'parts' Coco 3 and switched the PSU and now back in full operation. I'm glad it was the PSU, as I'm not set up to do any "chip soldering" :-)

If the relay does not click then is the psu, transistor or capacitor in the 
line. You need the service manual and follow the voltages.

nothing.  I suspect a power failure of some kind.  I did get power out at some 
points with my multimeter when switched on though.  Anyone ever seen this 
happen?
