Quadra 610 chime of death

So, I was using my Quadra 610 as usual since it's a pretty quiet slab with builtin Ethernet and has 68MB of RAM allowing it to run most of the stuff I've been throwing at it. Then it started freezing randomly and eventually no longer powered on, just having chimes of death. I tried reseating the RAM, removing and replacing RAM, VRAM and let it sit unpowered until cool etc, but the issue still persists. The capacitors don't look like they've leaked yet, so I've not done a recap on this machine yet, but will try once I have the machines that have already leaked their caps recapped first.

Mine had pretty bad leakage, I wouldn't be surprised if yours might have started, but not as badly as mine. Either way, it's going to need a recap at some point, and it'll help figuring out if they are the problem. I would also suggest looking at the power supply voltages, as it too has capacitors that could potentially leak. I still need to recap the power supply on my Q610.
