After trying all the usual tricks over the past couple years to no avail I decided to take another crack at fixing my Tripminder woes. After work today I pulled the unit out and cracked it open on my bench. What I found was a few capacitors leaked out and a PCB trace erroded away. After replacing all caps (actually had all the right ones in stock) and repairing the PCB trace all was good as new!

Thanks for the incite. I guess this is an issue for our old marks. I'll keep my eyes open on this one
