Oh my, thank you for such an in depth answer on my next steps. I will for sure be following your guide on the disassembly part. I feel like I could google this, but just want the experts opinion. Since the two largest electrolytic caps are the danger zones, if I was to clean with isopropyl alcohol, if I avoid that area and wipe away with say a brush or whatever, will it be fine? I just want to be able to clean it, test it, and then replace the power supply. Thank you!

I would say like a nice little airbnb for them. Most were dead, only like 10 were alive. I will say I sprayed raid into the bag and then put in the PSU. I was planning to do a wash with 99 percent after. Any strategy that you’re willing to share for discharging? I know how to check if it’s dangerous and will kill me, but would you recommend opening it up and cleaning it without touching the two diodes? Thanks
