[rescue] WTB: Sun 3/80 frame buffer

[Dan Moisa]

I have a broken one too, and I'm guessing it's the component under all that
shielding. Looks like it's a power supply, but I can't find any available
by part number so need to rip it out and look more into it.
The card was working for the longest, then one day it got super hot and
never came back on.
