my empeg is dead
i think there is a short somewhere. when i apply power, nothing happens (nothing on display, no hd-noise, no red led on mainboard) besides a faint clicking noise (i think it's the "self-healing" fuse in the lower left corner).
visual inspection showed a slightly discolored capacitor on the upper right corner of the SAA...-chip (see picture).
can somebody tell me the correct value to replace it?
any idea why this capacitor could be broken?
or if it this is not the problem, where should i search next?

i hope somebody still reads this forum. i go on vacation on sunday and would love to have music in my car...
