Hmmm... I did hear a "pop" in my office last week and said to myself, "that
sounds like a cap blowing". But I just attributed it to those funny noises a
house makes when the weather outside is changing temperature fast.

Well, the drives and PS fan don't even power up. So I'm not even sure if I
could use this trick to easily connect the hard drive to another working
machine, unless removing J1 will restore the drive power.

I don't think that J1 could have popped off on it's own... The machine has
just been sitting on the floor under my MIDI keyboard, plugged in. A few
weeks ago, it worked. Yesterday, it didn't.
