I recently had my alarm clock I was given when I was a teenager fail on me, 30 years later. Even when plugged in, it occasionally turns off. Got a few good decades out of it, though.

I'm going to guess that would be an easy and cheap fix if it's just a power issue? Wild guess but perhaps just a capacitor finally got spent
Always these pesky capacitors (I had like 3 LCD monitors with a faulty capacitor from prolonged use, it is somewhat of an easy fix, no need to throw away the whole monitor).
I'm more of a software/econ nerd. Where would I even start if I wanted to repair this?
