If that's all that you replaced, no wonder it still doesn't work ;-)
Usually shorted power transistors in SMPSUs also break one or more fusable
resistors, maybe some diodes, maybe the driver IC or transistors.
So if you have anything that "exploded" in the power supply, be sure there
is more work to be invested that replacing the obious parts.
