Good points all around. :) I examined the PCB and all internal
components looking for deformations, bad solders, or scorching and could
not see anything. If something was obviously toasted I would not
hesitate to heat up the soldering iron and attempt a fix. Can't tie the
failure to an event because it was working when I left for work and dead
when I got home.
Testing each individual component, however, is beyond my expertise (and
attention span). ;)
