Any one know What would cause this radio to not turn on when switching it on?

One day it worked the next not, I hear the power supply humming very slightly like it always did so I think the power supply works. No lights, sounds nothing. total dead.

Is there a way to test it or like what should I look for?

Any help out there?

Thanks,
airplane

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
