Are the keyboard lights actually flashing or do you simply get a random combination coming on at each power up?
They're flashing but subtlely differently each time. Two videos uploaded here (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing).
Replacing the electrolytic caps and then giving the board a good clean with distilled water and IPA did the trick. After a good dry out, it came back to life and has worked ever since - no issues or freezes.
Thanks, that's encouraging, hopefully I've not damaged anything irreparable. I was hoping to switch those out one at a time while it was working (as it was this morning , before I tried the new DC-DC board :( ) so I could narrow down any faults I introduced but I guess there's nothing holding me back now.
