noisy layla 20

[trevord]

i started hearing a noise in the monitors connected to my old layla 20.
for a long time i chalked it up to interference from all the digital eqipment around the nearfields
since everything i recorded looked clean (at the zoomed in waveform level)

but i had to move some stuff around and i heard the noise comming from the layla itself
i opened it up and it sounds like the transformer is the culprit.
it sounds like the usual power supply hum but with a large dose of higher freqency noise
(switching supply noise?)

is this repairable?
do i need a new transformer or some other components (eg: the huge power supply caps)
diodes?

anyone else had to deal with problems on an old layla?

thanks

my layla 20 is quite as a mouse. Perhaps Echo is like shure, send back the card, the fix it and send it back. Its worth a try.
