For the life of me, I can not find those caps online. Anyone have a direct line to the item? Mine also blew out yesterday.

IF you have the G BOARD part #A-1316-367-A it's:
1-162-133-00 CERAMIC 390PF 10% 2KV
IF you have the G BOARD part #A-1316-422-A it's:
1-161-754-00 CERAMIC 0.001MF 10% 2KV

Everyone has problems with SMPSs; mine started in 1971 when IBM was first using them; they were literally blowing up and throwing molten copper several feet.
Anyhow, if you have the benefit of a capacitance meter with DF function, check the main filter caps all of the smaller caps. The quality and durability of electrolytics is bad and getting worse and once one of these fails anywhere in a feedback path, the supply will not start. HF is hell on electrolytics.
The (ferrite) transformer in a switcher measures very low on the Ohms scale; depending on power handling and service frequency, primary <<100 Ohms, secondary from 0.? - 10 Ohms between taps, because they operate at higher frequencies. The 50 volts from the diode bridge is way too low; you probably have failed 100-200 uFd. electrolytics right close to them although this is fairly rare since they are only working with 120 Hz. From a 120 VAC line, you should have ~ 160-170 DC volts at no load if the caps are still working as they should and you have no notable resistance between the AC and the diodes.
Well-designed switchers are wonderfully efficient and very reliable if the maker didn't cheat on component quality. I've repaired literally thousands as a sideline in a now retired business and after studying them and adding a ceramic cap.or two and better quality electrolytics, they will run for decades. At one time, I had standard repair prices on ~ 70 different models.
My guarantee was 'lifetime' and that was limited only because I retired.

If one is domed on top and there several other of the same value replace them also even if not domed. Check fuse on power board. When plugged in there is a constant 5 volts that will be going to the main board from the power board. The main board will send a turn on voltage to the power board from the main. Disconnect the inverter boards from the power board. If it still won't turn on replace the power board.
