Thanks @XinlessV and @AmigaRob! I've opened up the Amiga and it looks like a capacitor near the corner where the power cable plugs in may have produced a yellow discharge - a bit like ear wax!
Does that sound familiar and is it possible to replace a capacitor on the motherboard?

How do you remove the capacitor? Desolder from underneath the motherboard?
If you don’t have the tools to remove a surface mount capacitor or know what your doing get it recapped by someone that does it’s it expensive, you could cause more damage which will then be more expensive to repair.

Thanks! Is the dry yellow material around the lower left of the black capacitor in this picture a symptom you're familiar with? How important is it that I neutralize this discharge? What base and how should it be applied? What would it cost to have this replaced?pic.twitter.com/lJirqQ3L5J

quite important if it’s that much. Neutralize what you can access, remove the capacitor, and neutralize what was under that. Then a install a new one. If you can’t. Neutralize what’s thier and send it into someone who can do the repairs.
