Hello, I have this board and it won't post. I noted that PL401 was burnt away altogether. I replaced it and then noticed mosfet PQ401 got very hot. I removed it and tested it off the board and it was shorted drain/source/gate. The pads on the board were not shorted so I replaced the mosfet with another one. The board came to life briefly but then died and the same mosfet got hot and is shorted again. I now note that the 2 capacitors adjacent to PL401 also seem to be shorted. One of them is really tiny. The screen printing on the toshiba board is not comprehensive and the capacitors are not stamped with a number but I think they are PC416 and 418.
Any ideas as to what is causing so much trauma to PQ401 and PL401?
