HD-100 - Blinking power light - Won't turn on

I tried to turn on my extender today and the power light blinks with an audible click through the tv speaker. I recycled the power a couple times but same thing happens. The unit won't turn on.

We can't live without thiis thing. Is it defective now?

Fixed

I bought three caps for $1.59 each at Radio Shack yesterday and replaced the bad ones. It was running again in about half an hour including time spent hooking the unit back up. My wife is now happy again so I'm happy :-)
