check all connection
check you have mains voltage on the board
make sure all your solder joints are ok and you have not damaged tracks
if it was me i would check for voltage both on the high voltage caps whicH should be 300v DC ( be careful( and the low voltage caps ( probably 12VDC ) but only if you are competant and safe

Thanks Dave, I was up until midnight fiddling with it!
Some or the pads were damaged when I removed the power chip but I’ve exposed some of the relevant tracks and ensured I soldered onto them so I’m quite confident with that, I’ll get my multimeter out and check for power supply, I’m guessing the main switch supplies the board so that should be what I check first? I don’t think I’ll fiddle around with the capacitors though if they are energised!
