Eric

Let me get it...you DID NOT replace all capacitors? Big mistake if this is the case.
Another thing is, of all things this very capacitor HAS to be taken out and replaced with X-grade capacitor (line filter).

And, if it is before the power switch on the Mains' side (as is often the case) - place a 200K resistor across.
