    With items that spend years plugged in and then a long period unplugged, the likely suspect is going to be capacitors, and most likely 1000uf capacitors, as caps are about the only electronic components that really "age".

    Put it this way, I know guys who buy a few hundred of them, go down the local recycling centre, pull TVs out of skips, change the capacitors and then sell them on eBay.

    If you get nowhere with it, take it apart, look for:

    If you see any bulging or leaking, then that is 100% the problem.

    Sorry meant to quote you. See first response above.
