DNF=Does Not Function

I get that the board is toast but before I part with $100+ I want to try to isolate what caused the failure so as not to cook another one.$$'s tight these days.
I am not an EE but after a half century on this rock I've come to expect that catastrophic failures are just little failures snowballed :D If it is at all possible I'd like to identify what that little failure was.....

All I can suggest is that you check all the parts that the board runs with a meter.

Odds are it is just the capacitor that went south.
Electrolytic capacitors are infamous for problems of this sort.

I did some checking around and looks like low voltage at the unit can also cause this.
