This is what I get for usenetting when I'm barely awake. Obviously, if the
protection circuit has shut down the final stages, they won't warm up again
until the thermal fault is corrected, as power is likely not being applied
to them. You may have to give blanket coverage to several components at
once to bring the unit out of shutdown. Once you've determined the general
area at fault, you can hone in on the specific part(s) that is/are causing
the problem.
