    Moved my Eurovox ex5000 to a different room and smoke started coming out of it when i plugged it in (see what happens when u do people favours!)

    First it started making a strange whining noise (like a crappy old tv) and then the smoke started, im pretty sure it was coming from a yellow rectangular box inside on the left hand side, connected to the long brown board.

    Sorry for the lack of technical terms but ive never looked inside a eurovox before.

    Does anyone know if i can just replace the board and that will solve the problem or have i killed my box?

    Any help or input is greatly appreciated....
