Jedi Series Gang Charger Problem

I have a NTN 1177 Jedi Gang Charger that has been working fine for a few years. This week however, I noticed a problem that has developed with it. After an undetermined amount of time, it shuts off. All of the status LEDs turn off and the charger quits charging. I have to unplug the charger and plug it back in, at which point it does the self test and will commence charging any batteries in the bays. However, after a certain amount of time, all of the LEDs go out and the charger doesn't do anything. I don't even know if the batteries fully charge or not.

Is there anything I can look at? Or is it time to find a new charger?

Either the chargers logic circuit has gone thermal or there's a PS problem (those Aztec PS are quite problematic as they become older). Fan still working ?

resolder the caps and coils on the power supply.. your gonna hafta open up the power supply.. probably bad soldering joints.. these Power supplies were famous for going like what other people were saying

Yes, the fan still works just fine when all slots require charging.
