One of the goals with this repair attempt is to learn something about
SMPS. So, before I start throwing parts at it, I want to scratch my
head a little and try to go the methodical route.

Replace them all. But only *after* you have checked any and all diodes for open or short conditions.


OK, I will check the diodes.
