A fizzle on power-up is most likely another capacitor burning out, very likely in the PSU circuitry. It would be rare for this to happen without showing some signs of smoke or recent fluid leakage. Take a very close look at your analog board.

If you are lucky it could be the filter capacitor right next to the IEC power socket. I say lucky, because those are simple to replace.
