Looks like a small amount of black soot in the exhaust vent area. The only electrical part near there is a component called the "gas sensor". I have checked the fuse, it is good and verifiyed there is power to the unit. Could the gas sensor have been damaged by the small fire. If the Gas sensor was bad would it keep the unit from powering up at all?
