I have just uncovered my BBC B computer to make sure everything's sweet...
Turned it on and heard the familiar Beeeeeep Beep! and I was a happy bunny.... I normally run them for a whole day!
Hardly 20 seconds in... Hissssssss Crackle Spurt!!! Tons of white smoke poured out of the beeb....
Pulled it apart and found the smell of burnt bits coming from the PSU...
Couldn't see anything wrong, so I boot our good friend google!!! Common faults with the Beeb PSU is the X2 filter caps become fragile.....
I hope that's all it is.... I have caps coming tomorrow.... Bad week for me... This just buries the hatchet!!
