The evil gremlins snuck in when you weren't looking and let out the magic 
smoke. <shrug> Electronic circuits fail with time and entropy and there can be 
a myriad of causes: tin whiskers, cap failure, contact corrosion leading to 
high resistance, leading to burnouts, etc.

Could be something's jostled loose.

Could be a bit of metal worked loose and is shorting things out.
