Yamaha RX-V650 power on issues.

[BloodyL]

Hi there, my AV amp has started to develop a very strange power issue:
*In standby the Pure Direct light flickers dimly
*Short presses of the power button do not work, pressing the power button for a few seconds brings the unit online.
Everything else seems to be working ok, now I'm guessing that the PSU is beginning to reach the end of it's life.

Any ideas?
Cheers.

I've replaced the 22nf 630v Polypropylene capacitor at point C405 on the "SUB TRANS PCB" and the 10 year old RX-V650 is powering up properly again.
