Hi BobC, before you give up might be worth checking for swollen, burst or dry condensors, both on board or if you are really experienced and
safe working in the power supply, otherwise ask an old tv repairman, they are well schooled in high tension applications..
Switching Power supplies can kill in an instant, high voltages stored in big caps !!.
Condensors failing is very common.
If you have a manual you can check if you have right voltages reaching board, that is safe and easy with a cheap multimeter.
Maybe your old device has some more life left.
