| Can't say that I have. But what you describe is a failing Standby |
| 18 |
| voltage circuit. It could be the power supply or it could be the |
| 19 |
| motherboard. |

| |
| 21 |
| If either has significant age on them, then most likely to electrolytic |
| 22 |
| capacitors associated with the circuit have gone bad. Or it could |
| 23 |
| simply be bad design and no real testing of the function during |
| 24 |
| production. |
