my sv clone was working fine last night but when i came home 2day it has totally stopped working. it does not seem 2 b getting any power at all. changed the fuse on the plug but its still the same. is there an internal fuse that i cant see?? opened it up 2 have a look but cant find 1. i have not downloaded firmware onto it 4 about a year and a half so i dont think its that. any ideas? thanks

Did you get the polarity the right way round when you fitted the cap?
Also look at this picture, see if its any help,
Are you able to check the outputs from the PSU with a multimeter?.

First of all as said make sure you have put the cap the right way round, you will see a line on the cap, you line that up with the circle on the board.
To test the PSU,
The ribbon that comes from the PSU unplug it from the main board (it wont unplug from the PSU)
On the PSU you will see,
3V
2V
23V
7V
GND
GND
At the plug end of the PSU put the black wire pin of the Multimeter on either one of the GND (ground) then touch the red wired pin on each terminal and make sure each one corresponds with the voltage shown on the board. Dont blow yourself up!!!!!, if your not confident take it to an electrical repair shop to check it for you.
