Thanks N4RPS for the information.
AS it happens I have a little bit of electronics knowledge but not a lot. I knew that those little cans were capacitors but I did not know their full name, or that they are electrolytic. It just so happens I have a DVD recorder that won't power on at all now and when I took off the cover I saw that one of them had indeed blown. Odd thing is that it was on before and just would not come on again once I shut it off. The power board is separate from the rest of the system and is connected by ribbons and such to the other components. How difficult is it to replace those and would it be worth actually trying to or better/less expensive to try and order a replacement power board from the manufacturer.
As for the issue with the time slowly slipping away. it seems I am still having the issue, even aftger replacing the battery for the cmos. I am going to have to look into the power supply more closely to see if something similar has happened. But so I am clear you are saying that if those (capacitors) have any sign of bulging or blown then the mother board is no good and I should just get another one?
Let me know.
Thanks again.
