I haven't had my bus plugged in much since I purchased it. Every time I did plug it in, I would hear this sizzling in the area of the power converter. So I decided to investigate further. I pulled it out and it appeared that it had seriously over heated at some point. I took it apart and discovered that it had melted a capacitor and the insulation on the wires leading to and from the capacitors.
The sizzling was apparently arcing between the exposed wires. I investigated the possibility of repairing the converter. The capacitors are sort of hard to find. The best price I could find was $40 each. I looked into it and can probably get a brand new one for between $150 and $200. So that is what I am going to do.
