@bosscharles can I ask if you ever resolved this? I’ve also seen your post on badcaps. Did you ever resolve? Thanks. P

Just seen it's 4 days old!

Hi brumster, I haven’t resolved yet. I’m going to try dipping the transformer in varnish. Just need to get it desoldered first!

I’m curious about the transformer that's making the noise. I’ve just had a look at an old Play5 Gen 1 and they look to be similar, have you seen the post on BadCaps?
