oh yes that would be terribly useful

anyway I suspect some hardware failure in the power zone, I've got
some snapshots:

Wow! You have it all torn apart. See those two fuselinks? One is labeled
FUSE500 and the other is labeled FUSE501? They are probably okay, but I
would ohm them anyway, as they are easy to check.

Large electrolytic capacitors are the weakest component generally. And
it looks like C520 is one of them. That is probably okay, but something
else to check.

And that first picture off to the far right. What is that? A reset
button? And is that board below the main board? And what is that thing
bottom right? That disc looking thing with a large black dot in the
center? Is that a coil? Or is it really a disc shaped object?

And right by that disc just to the left. There is a plug that looks
unplugged. Where does that go to? And where does that large plug with
two black wires and two green wires go to? I would guess to the fan. Is
that so?
