Hello all. I'm a little heart broken- hopefully the problem can be resolved.
I have a MP 2000 upgraded (by Apple) to a 2100. I use it almost exclusively at my desk plugged into AC power (original 9W adapter) with the batteries out (AA cage). I was recently away for 3 months and left it completely unpowered. I came home, plugged in AC, and all was well.
I got home today to find the green back light flashing repeatedly. It won't turn on and a reset doesn't do anything either. I unplugged it and then noticed a smell, a very very stinky noxious scent that is stronger from the top (with the PCMCIA cards removed) near the IR port and AC in. It is also warm. Quite warm considering its been unplugged for nearly 2 hours.
I imagine its a capacitor that has blown? I appreciate any help as well as advice on how to fix it, if possible. Thank you.
