My Transporter recently died as well with the same failed display PSU. Though this thing is cheap to replace through Rapid, the real issue here is absolute low-grade "jellybean" electrolytic capacitors used in building these power supplies. Rather than buying a new PSU from Rapid, which would had surely fixed the issue, I ended up re-capping my failed PSU with high-quality, high-reliability, electrolytic caps by Panasonic and Nichicon, like should have been installed in the first place. You can buy thees parts from Digi-Key or an other electronic parts supplier for less than $5 US, and they can easily be installed using a small pencil-soldering iron, good grade electronics solder, some solder-wick. If you don't know how to solder, there are many You-Tube videos the show you how. Best of luck to all! Parts I used are as follows: Digi-Key P/N Mfg P/N Disc. 493-6894-ND UCY2W220MHD CAP ALUM 22UF 20% 450V RADIAL P15367CT-ND EEU-FR1E681LB CAP ALUM 680UF 20% 25V RADIAL 1189-1069-ND 10YXJ470M6.3X11 CAP ALUM 470UF 20% 10V RADIAL P13478-ND EEU-EB1H100S CAP ALUM 10UF 20% 50V RADIAL Digital: Transporter > DEQX HDP-Express (3-way digital corssover/speaker correction)> bi-amped Apogee Duetta Signatures (Graz MRTs) powered by (2X)rebuilt Threshold Staisis 2 amps / pair of stereo Rythmik/GR Research servo subs.
