Could anyone please tell me why my F&P GW709 won't power up? It doesn't do it's usual musical beeps and no lights come on when you power it up on the wall.
There is power to the main control board (measured on the back side of the plug in connector) and just to make matters a little more confusing, I've swapped both control boards (the one that the power enters and the one that the push buttons/LED's are on) with ones from another machine and it still has the same fault.
Please, please, please can anyone help

Mine did this on the weekend, stopped midcycle.
Removing the board found the slow blow fuse f124 open. Replaced said fuse and got got a satisfying explosion from the 15v regulator, which i can now not identify. Perhaps a 15v peripheral (?) gone short and done both of your boards?
Let me know!!??
