Yep, electronic stuff does not last forever, especially if it is of Chinese economy manufacture. Also it does not like running in hot environments such as powered speaker enclosures, or poorly ventilated enclosures.
Most double wound transformers seem to be more reliable than switched mode power supplies I find.
