Repairing Alesis MidiVERB III

Hi this might be a shot in the dark but do you know where i can get the blue small (0.1mfd) capacitors you mentioned above. i have a unit with one of these burned out.
cheers

I have a 3 year old MidiVERB III that was working beautifully and then one
day it didn't power up, i.e. plugging in the 9V adapter didn't cause any
lights or anything to come on.........................................
Any suggestions?

Also check for small (0.1mfd) capacitors that have shorted out (you'll see
the burned discoloration.... they used to be either blue or yellow) at
various places on the circuitboard. I have repaired about a half dozen
older MidiVerb's that have had this particular failure. Sometimes the
copper trace on the circuit board burns in two. In all cases, a new cap
plus bridging the burned-thru trace brought the units back to life for me.
I suspect they got a batch of bad caps that didn't live up to their working
voltage rating.
