RE: Advice on safe troubleshooting method please

I would certainly suggest you go with you last option of hauling the unit to the bench and going inside to check the internals. Look for burned or discolored resistors, bulging caps, or any other component that looks as if it has been over heated or burned. Also, be on the look out for lose wires or component leads that may have come loose at the solder joint.

You might not detect the problem visually but you don't have anything to lose by looking around. You just might find the problem before you energize the thing again and blow up something else.
