How can i fix my potterton suprima 60 boiler?

I recently changed the PCB and the Red HT lead lead (which was broken) but my boiler still does not fire up. Can anyone PLEASE help me. All suggestions are welcome. Many thanks.

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THIER HELP IN MY STRUGGLES WITH THE SUPRIMA 60.
AT LAST I HAVE HEAT!!! IT WAS THE GAS VALVE WHICH WAS FAULTY.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BRITISH GAS PRIORITY BOILER SERVICE. IT ONLY COST £2 PER MONTH AND THE REPAIR COST AN ADDITIONAL £99 (INC PARTS AND LABOUR)WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Hi Joe,

It is possible that the gas valve is faulty, these have a tendency to go open circuit. If you listen carefully to the gas valve when the boiler starts up you should hear a faint clunk as the valve opens, if it is quiet it will be suspect.
If you know an electrician he can check across the 2 outer pins these should read around 3.7k if ok.

Thanks for your reply Baximan.
The answer is YES. Theboiler tries to light up 3 times and then the red light starts flashing until the reset button is pushed.
I can also see it sparking up as if to light but to no avail. With regards to lights on the PCB the green light flashes slowly and then rapidly when its trying to fire up.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.
