Possibly.

Take the cover off (with the box unplugged from the mains). I think the F3 uses the same PSU board as the S10/S11. Have a look at C11 (1000uF 10v) & C15 (470uF 10v). The tops should be perfectly flat, with no bulging or discolouration.

Edit...I have seen a different board layout on some F3's, so the circuit references might have changed. Just look for any bulging caps.
