I wanted to try out Dune for the first time and it just didn’t power on. I am not ok. I took a look inside and cleaned it, but there’s no obvious loose connections. Today is a sad day for me

I do have both of those things but I don’t feel I have the expertise. Maybe I’ll give it a go in a few days.
It makes a high-pitched whine when plugged in, I also wondered if that could be a capacitor making the noise. Or maybe the coil right near the incoming power supply, I could imagine that making such a notice as well
I’m no expert either but a first step would be to take the case off and listen for which part the whine is coming from. That may clue you in.
You can also touch parts and see if any are extra warm/hot soon after start up.
That can help direct your trouble shooting.
Don’t buy parts until you have a clue as to what might be happening. It’ll save you money.
Probably true, but everyone starts out like that, and its already broke. Either you fix it and youre a hero, or it stays broke and whatever
Definitely try replacing the capacitors. They just don’t live that long.

If you don’t have a lot of expertise with soldering, here’s a few basic tips:
Don’t set the iron too hot, because if you burn the wires it’s pretty much gg. Use lots of flux. To remove the old caps, just cut them off, they are cheap and replaceable.
Good luck!
