I sell a replacement kit based on an internal 12v to 5v converter and using an external 12v power supply.. this is easier than fixing the internal supply and removes about 1/2-1/3 of the waste heat from the TC..
See https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/time-capsule-power-supply-repair-kits
I sell the internal converter.. for most people it is cheaper to get a 12v power supply locally for from ebay. The converter is cheap enough I can post around the world. Chris's method is very good.. we keep in touch.. and I have and still occasionally do that repair.. but offloading the power supply to me solves the problem.. and no fan noise is welcome.

You can DIY if you have some skills .. look at the whole site there for repair type 3.. as well as other methods.. I have recently got some modules from China for running LED lights in the car.. they have worked ok but I have recorded one failure out of about 10 units in the field. Long term we will need to wait and see.
