I have not disassembled it yet. The only easily measurable data points are
from a spare hard disk connector: +12V is fine, +5V is low (4.6 - 4.8V) but
relatively stable even in the second it shuts down. When it shut down it often
will not power up again in the next few minutes.

I'll disassemble it and check for obviously leaked elcos and similar.
