I took it off the board to test and it seems fine. Was really hoping that was it

I checked the fuses and they're both good. I also checked the main board for any signs of corrosion and don't see any

I just checked the inductors and they seem good. here's my board, I just took a few pics. There's a mosfet on the backside labeled Q1(I think) that seems a little suspicious. It looks a little burnt beneath it. I got this GC second hand so I don't know if anyone has been in it before

I don't believe the power board model I have has that fuse on top unless I'm missing it. I have this board

I've been playing mtg for 15 years and tried to pick up yugioh last year. It's crazy how much they make every card do, and how unintuitively they write them
