Is the control computer a Dell? If so, it's a fairly common failure among certain vintages of Dell PCs for bad capacitors to show up, and "recapping" kits exist and are reasonably easy to install.</div>

However, if replacement seems easier or is preferred, then give that a go.</div>

<div>During a recent power outage, our MA6 EISS imaging computer failed. The system starts to boot and then hangs, I've checked the power supply and the hard drive seems ok, but I suspect the motherboard has failed(swollen caps). Has anyone had any experience
replacing this system? <br>
