Just finished repairing this used unit, and because they seem somewhat rare, I took some pictures.
This is a 32V, 3 amp DC linear CV/CC single output power supply. An encoder allows adjustment in increments of .01V and 1 mA. The programmability consists of the ability to accept commands via RS232 or optional GPIB interfaces. The one shown here appears to be from around 2007, although they are still sold today and still command high prices.
This unit was used, with a display problem. The display was dim, but also had a contrast problem. It is a standard 1602 LCD with an LED backlight. In this case, the backlight is actually two SMD LEDs on a tiny board. I removed the backlight from under the LCD panel and removed the tiny backlight board. It is shown in the photo below, with a Molex connector above it for scale. When probing those LEDs, one lit, and one disintegrated into layers. I found a white SMD LED in the scrap parts pile, soldered it onto .1" headers, and glued it into the backlight with hot glue. A standard 1602 would easily replace this, but the only normal one I had available was a low-profile version that was way too far back in the case. After repairing the backlight, I added a resistor to get the default contrast value into the visible range. The contrast can be adjusted from the front panel, but for some reason the value is not saved. The voltage and current settings are saved.
GW Instek likes to use Jamicon capacitors, which are reasonably good. While not the level of my favorite Panasonics, I can't recall ever finding a failed Jamicon.
Unfortunately, Instek also likes to use brown glue to secure large components. This glue degrades with heat, becoming darker brown (no problem) and conductive (big problem). The larger capacitors had been secured with this glue, and it had begun to darken. This is visible on the power board photo.
In this case, the glue could have been left, since it was not touching any conductors. But it was not possible to see that. I ended up removing those capacitors, carefully removing the glue (just a fingernail was usually enough to scrape it loose), resoldering the caps, and then regluing them with neutral-cure silicone (not shown in these photos). Funnily enough, the brown glue had not actually stuck to several of the caps.
Note the internal heatsink with the fan sucking air through the cooling fins and the supercap on the processor board.
