I have a E470VA with a PLHH-Y009A power board. No power, nothing when cord is plugged in and power button is pushed. I opened the case and saw one of the capacitors was swollen and the legs has some substance on them, so I assumed this was the problem (later I tested it and it came up as having 8uF which seems pretty bad given its nominal rating). I replaced that, but still no power.
Checked the fuses and one of the two fuses I saw was blown (no continuity). Fortunately I had an old power board with what appeared to be an identical fuse that was NOT blown when it was on the old board, but as soon as I connected it to this board using some alligator clips, it also blew, so whatever problem there was with the power supply board must still be there.
Can someone advise what to test next? Also, for troubleshooting, I don't have anymore 3.15 fast blow fuses. Is it OK to use a 5A car fuse?
