Pansat 9200 power problem

[Swamp_Rat]

My 9200 suddenly shut off the other day. Now it will not power up. I have seen a couple of threads in the past with capacitors (I think it was caps) that have failed. I have the box open and the power supply out. How can I tell if one is blown? I am not an electronics expert but I think if I can identify the problem I can remove and re solder the blown unit.

Thanks in advance!

Can I buy these caps locally at a place like Rat Shack or do I have to mail order them?

RShak MAY have some that will work, I haven't bought part's at RShak in quite a few years because the last few trips there were fruitless, and before that, the parts were of inferior quality. I don't have a problem making the minimum at digikey or where ever.
