They will need to replace its capacitors eventually, if they already haven't.

Capacitors have a lifetime of one to a few decades, then they swell up and leak, and the associated electronics start failing in all sorts of weird ways. Shitty capacitors don't even last a few years. There was a huge batch of those manufactured in the early 2000s due to a corporate espionage operation gone wrong.
