My roommate's LED lights went out, and she traced it down to a bad wallwart. I thought I'd crack it open and see if there's any (electronic) gore.
Nothing on the trace-side of the PCB, nothing seems to have gotten super hot and burnt, unlike that last power supply I opened

And the top looks okay too, except maybe that cap on the left that's clearly on the way out.

(You may spot something else wrong. Hang on to that)

It's hard to see in the photos, but yeah, that cap is definitely bulging.

@foone the other capacitor meanwhile is being tracked somewhere in low earth orbit
