I wanted to try out Dune for the first time and it just didn’t power on. I am not ok. I took a look inside and cleaned it, but there’s no obvious loose connections. Today is a sad day for me

From what I can tell, there’s only one 200V cap in a PS1, so as long as you don’t short that you’ll be fine.
I still caution against the advice of feeling open electrical components to find problems. Just use a multimeter. You short something with a meter and you just need new leads, short something spicy with your fingers and you could either get a nasty sting, or stop your heart. The risk/reward on that seems a little off.
When trouble shooting sometimes chips, caps or resistors can get much hotter than surrounds parts. It can let you know to inspect that part for replacement.
Sure don’t grab leads with your fingers but sometimes you can tell something like a voltage regulator is malfunctioning because it just gets really hot.
I mean you can just use an IR camera but most people don’t have one.
