New found respect for Digikey, parts ordered on Monday from the US arrived today! Shipping cost was £12 which was more than the actual chips but that's still pretty good. No customs/import charges to be paid.

1. Jetstream was going the right direction.
2. Digi Key attached extra carrier pigeons to your package.

Getting the old leads out of the PCB was tricky. I had to break out the old hot wire gun to get enough heat in.
New parts soldered in.
The first turn on was a bit nerve wracking, but no bang!
Job done, that's some serious amount of brownie points just earned.
£25 spent vs £300 for a new board or £1000 for a new hob.

Great result @RaceDiagnostics ! Makes you wonder how much stuff ends up in the bin that could be easily repaired!

Too much, I'm afraid. I will always attempt a repair, regardless.

80cm, mine is an older model, its replacement that looks identical, probably with uprated transistors is T58FD210X0.

nice one the time taken was also probably less than fitting a new one when you take in recutting the hole to take the new one as well

A crazy element of the design of the PCB was the fusible copper trace in the neutral line of the pcb, rather than a fuse. It saves a few pence but virtually destroys the PCB. It is definitely a design element as there was a conduit under it leading to the cooling fan so that when it vapourised the gasses were drawn out by the cooling fan. It may also be a deterrent feature to prevent anyone trying to repair the PCB. I bridged it with a wire link and will rely upon the MCB.
