   Update:  The hard part in repairing power supply was desoldering the old   
   bulging capacitor but with patience it finally popped out.  Soldering new   
   capacitor (1000uF, 16V like the old one) onto board was easier.  No burned   
   fingers yet.  The rebuilt power    
   supply booted up the GS.  It lasted a few minutes and then died.  Examining   
   the power supply it was the new capacitor that was bulging - failed.  No   
   smoke, burning signs or bad odor.  But, to misuse a cliche, what is the 'magic   
   smoke' telling me?  Should    
   I replace the cap and try again?  Thanks.
