(plus a number of reasons why you wouldn't want to try to repair it).

A temperature dependent resistor sounds likely, the first three or four 
times it started playing again after being left with the power off for a 
few hours. But this time it still won't work after 3 days.

I think you're right about the viability of repair and it'll probably 
get binned soon, but I thought I might as well try just in case someone 
might want it.

I'll try the trick Jack Richards mentioned in the Sparcstation thread. 
It's worked before - we had an ancient and huge TV which gave up. We put 
it outside, not specifically intending it to be stolen, but because 
there wasn't anywhere else to put it. It vanished overnight and saved us 
a trip to the tip.

Regards, Ian
