I had a DVD player/recorder that suddenly died. A huge hole was evident in a randomly placed rectifier on the main board. Replaced it and it worked for another few years.
In 1970s a TV died suddenly. A dropper resistor had fallen off. I guess wrong solder? I tied on the lugs with wire and though the solder softened it didn't drip.
I love it when something goes bang. Usually easier to find the fault.
