Strange thing happening with my home theater system. The red on light
is flashing rapidly, almost to the point of being completely on solid,
and when you press on the power button the indicator shows "TV" or
"Disc" or whatever, but turns off after just a few seconds. Any clue
what's going on here? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Either one of the secondary-side electrolytics is failing, or one of the
secondary side rectifiers is leaky. Either way, get it sorted soon as,
because if the regulation fails because of the main rail appearing to
be low, much other damage can be done to LSIs elsewhere in the machine.

Thanks for your help. I hate to waste, but since they don't cost that
much these days, I'm thinking I'll just replace it.

Thanks again.

Well, for the sake of a few pennies worth of caps I would have thought it
was worth a go at least. Otherwise, what was the point of asking the
question on here ?
