Note: Before proceeding with the power supply board replacement, ensure that you have the necessary replacement part and the appropriate tools. The part I needed was the 08-L141WA2-PW220AB.

If you’re not confident in performing the task yourself, it’s recommended to seek assistance from a qualified technician.
