On the board near the input power connector should be an SG2525 PWM controller. It has two output pins which drive a pair of MOSFETs, and these are connected to the small transformer on the board. You should measure the output voltage in both AC and DC of the output pins and post the numbers here.

I have found these to be bad on EQ215s in the past.

Here is a link to figure out what the pins are...
