The fuse in your photo (glass with white middle?) is a 120v fuse for the 120v input to the board right by where the 120v cord has its three wires attached inside the unit. If it is blown -no input and no output. You can check for 120v voltage on the other side of that fuse.
You can jumper that fuse end to end and see if the unit then works. Or it might work for a second and then smoke from whatever blew that fuse if internal cause.
EDIT--You cut the 120v plug to hardwire it ISTR. So that means you could have shorted the input where the plug was cut off--which would have blown the glass fuse? If so it was external and it should be safe to jumper the fuse with the cord wires repaired? ISTR you said water got in there?
I'm referring to the white fuse near the middle.
No after the 120 VAC plug was cut it didn't create a short. I made certain all three wires black, white and green were isolated and connected the to a proper connections to the dist. panel.
The PD9280 has been working well since it was installed with a cut-off AC plug for years. So I assume the problem is from the water spillage, the bad battery or perhaps another problem.
After dismantling the PD9280 I washed the dirty areas of the PCB with water and electronic spray using a tooth brush and then allowed to dry for several hours.
