And you would be $10 richer now :D

I just replaced the caps on the HV board ($5 worth of parts $7.99 for S&H :facepalm:) and it fired right up and started printing. None of the caps looked "bad". I don't have an ESR meter but when I tested the caps w/ my multimeter (outside of the circuit of course) only one seemed bad to my very rudimentary understanding. It was the big 25V 470uF cap. It never reached a resistance of infinity (which I believe a good cap will do).  Not sure if this is a true indication of a bad cap or that my MM just couldn't charge the cap sufficiently. In either case it is now replaced w/ a 25V 470uF 125C Panasonic part. 

Thanks to everyone for the help.
