Aqua Rite continuing saga

[otter86753]

This afternoon as I was doing my usual once a day check to ensure the SWG is producing, there is no power to the unit. The unit was installed in 2013 and the installer is no longer in business. Attached is a picture. Any advice is welcome.

Thermistor came in today and I soldered it onto the board, but alas still no power. Anything else I can check? I have a voltage meter; is there a way to test to see if there is power at various points?

I replaced the mother board and the unit worked fine for two days. This morning when I checked, the check salt and inspect cell lights are both solid, not blinking. The cell is new, installed in May of this year. I took it out and looked at it and it is clean as a whistle. The salt reading this morning said 1600, then it went to 400 and now it reads 200. I will take the cell to be tested tomorrow.

Any ideas at this point?
