ZPA 0.3 won't power - Fixed

I recently purchased a 0.5 and 0.3 off ebay. I hooked them up to a power supply individually and the .3 will not turn on. The 0.5 turns on, green lights on the top, and 4 red lights.

The 0.5 looks like this, except there are no yellow lights, 2 green ones. But the 4 red lights are on. Is this normal?

What should I do on the 0.3? Send to PG?

amp

did u have the cover on; one of the screws has to be screwed in, or else, the amp will not come on- i know that sounds like a stuid question, however i did that once b4 on a zpa, but if the 0.5 came on , im sure u already know this-

I did not have the cover on, silly me. The 0.5 has the microswitch bypassed, the 0.3 does not. It came on. While I am at this, what are common things to replace? I know the caps are, but can't find any info on which ones to purchase?

I used 8600uf 16v nichicon in my 2125. The Ti's just snap in I believe which are a lot easier to replace. Not sure on the ZPAs though.

ti caps snap in?

if the zpa boards are like the Ti's then no soldering required. At least that's what i've been told ;)
