I had a repair man come out said it was a bad power board. wanted $700.00 to repair it. Well while he was there I asked him if they just plugged in like computer boards he told me yes they did, So I went on line to ask.com and asked what I should do and if it sounded like the power board to him  and he said yes and the pop is a capacitor blowing ,So then I went to  vizparts.com and ordered one for $82.00 and I can let you know the resaults as soon as it gets here.
