R_J,
I was wondering if that SMD (C24) was going to be the issue or the KA7500B (U4) IC...
So U4 is a KA7500B which appears to be a switched-mode power supply controller, remember I am still a Novice

, it does not appear to be pricey and its available.
I am looking at a Data Sheet and the diagram in this thread;
https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/3...0B-1301161.pdf
, it appears pin 5 is the one I am having issue...am I correct?
On the C24 could I use the original too large SMD with a wire setup to the pads to test this so I can confirm the KA7500B failure?
I can then get another order in to get this thing squared away.
Thanks Again,
Chris
