Power Supply Shield Darkened - is this normal?


Recommended Posts

I am restoring a 1040STf and upon disassembly I noticed that the inside of the power supply shield is slightly blackened. I see no evidence of a blown capacitor or other damage to the power supply.

 

Is this normal? I haven't tried firing it up yet and am wondering if there is harm in trying the old power supply or if I should have it refurbished.

 

Looks like the machine had never been opened.

Blackened as in soot or just the chrome plating being darker and dull?
