burn marks... you'll know a blown component when you see it, generally speaking.. smell for smoke... ummm if you don't see burn marks, check solder points..

i had a look today and the only thing that looks suspect is a big roundish thing with a square thingy round it (sorry to get so technical) apart from that it all looks ok any ideas? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
