Yes and it was bad as well. I'm trying to find suitable replacements but don't know what brand or series to use. From what I can tell, the package size is 0402. Its about a millimeter in length.

My new digital caliper just came in the mail. The caps between pins 14, 15, which are same as ones missing, measured 1.04mm. So I think that would be the 0402 package.

Those caps that are missing. Does the pin of the ic where they are missing from generate the error? Maybe they were deliberately removed by someone else trying to track down this problem

Looking at the data sheet for it, it looks like it might generate the error. It does have over and undervoltage protect circuits. I actually think its the BE Micro IC3001 that generates the error though.

Well, its back to the old drawing board. Those two caps and the fuses came today. Put them in but its still doing the same thing. LED still blinking 6 times. I does try to fire the inverter 3 times though. I'm wondering if its time to start looking at the inverter board.

Never going to believe this. The backlight problem is solved. There was a wire harness coming from the balancer which goes to CN6701on the power board. Someone worked on this before I got it. The harness was wedged up under the power board. So, now the backlights come on. New problem. The attached pic is what it does when first plugged in. If I turn it off then back on it is just a black screen. Once it went to a grey screen. Backlights are on though. Also, the pic/timer light and the standby light are both on.
