When I apply power, the battery check light works. I have checked the continuity of all wires and they are OK. The magnet works (I removed it and tested it separately). The capacitor seems OK, as I have switched it from another camera with the same result. There is no mechanical obstruction that would prevent the shutter from opening. All contacts have been cleaned and are contacting properly (as far as I can tell). The magnet does not hold the shutter open, leaving me to believe that it is not getting power when needed. Can someone help me identify the components on the PSB? Specifically, what are the 3 black "dome" like components on the left? (they have 3 prongs) What are the small red/brown oval components on the left (there are 4 of them)? If I have an idea of what the electronics are supposed to do, I will have a better chance of troubleshooting. Thanks in advance.
