Check the SRCs above the battery holder. My Whirlwind was having weird sound issues and I found 2 SRCs with the slightest hint of corrosion when there was no sign of it anywhere else. Just hazy solder pad with a weird look to them. Replaced those and rebuilt my power supply and the sound and random no boot on first attempt has vanished completely.
