Thanks for the comments,

I don't believe Australian Consumer Law will apply - device was ordered through a US distributor.

Here is a close-up of the capacitor and what I suspect is leaking fluid on the circuit board. You'll notice the capacitors are covered in dust - the circuit boards are exposed in the airflow over the tec cooler heatsink. (ZWO circuit boards are in a similar position).

I've been thinking about the problem overnight - I wonder if it's a clock timer that's malfunctioning, causing the CCD to take a ~100msec exposure with it's electronic shutter, irrespective of the duration of the mechanical shutter being open.
