Hi all, I recently noticed no sound was coming out of my wireless rear home cinema speakers, so went to investigate. The speakers are plugged into a TA-SA300WR unit which had a flashing red LED (which according to the user manual means "Protection is active" and the unit has shut itself down) The unit was not ideally positioned in my house (near to my back door) and when I lifted it out there was a slug nearby, spiders galore, and a load of gross stuff (dried slug slime I imagine) over the ventilation holes. When I took the unit apart I noticed one of the contacts was blackened, where I assume some slime got into the unit (please see attached images) So my questions are I guess: 1) I don't know much about electronics, but the blackened pin looks to belong to a transformer, is there an easy way to test it with a multimeter? Perhaps the contact just needs cleaning (wishful thinking) 2) I am OK with a soldering iron, if I could pick another one of these transformers up and replace it would you guess that I'd get this going again, or would this component being fried have likely fried other components things along the way? 3) Anyone seen slug slime do this before? :-) Cheers!

Old Toshiba TV (42HL67). DVD player produces bad color thru either of two component cable inputs. Works ok with line input. Is my old Toshiba beginning to fail?
