I too have this problem, and out of waranty, and being an engineer I thought I would have ago at fixing it, which I did!
It is the PCB behind the silver sticker, and I noticed that the 2 1000uF capacitors were slightly domed, and the zener diode (5.1V 5Watts , DZ1(?)) had caused a slight darkening of the PCB. I replaced all three items, and this solved the problem.
