O2 PSU disassembly and refurb
So at 4AM i've had a sudden urge to try and figure out the O2's PSU and break out my old soldering kit to see if I can do it, for a few reasons:

1. It's all through the hole.

2. the parts seem readily available online

3. While documentation exists out there about the O2 PSU characteristics, no refurbishment information has surfaced

4. Nobody even knows how to take apart the damn things

I'm gonna document the process with parts I use to replace all electrolytics on board, images of the boards, and detailed takedown instructions. This is all a learning process for me, and I'm fully anticipating the possibility of failure. All the same, the sacrificial lamb has been chosen, and thankfully it's not an Octane.

Technical problems should be sent my way.
