There is also a great big RIFA paper capacitor in the PSU input stage which fails with age, and produces this failure mode (along with some smoke). I’ve had to replace them recently in a handful of my consoles. It’s a relatively simple job. Make sure any replacements are correctly safety rated (X2).
