Next thing to try is the AC psu, located in the rear r/h corner, under the
little fan.  There is a thyristor on there that sometimes fails (apparently) but I
have occasionally cured it by resoldering many suspect dry joints on both
the little circuit boards in this psu.  Failing that you are looking at the
controller board (around 6x9in) in the bottom of the machine.

Final thought, the little sockets located in the base of the printer often get a
bit 'tired' and if you carefully pull out each individual pin (actually a socket)
and bend them slightly to tighten up the grip on the fusers pins it might
solve your problem.
