I found the comment of Bob, who repaired it the first time. Mostly abracadabra to me... I think het sent it to you too...

There was a short in the +3.3V supply, which was outputting only 1.1V. Resistance across C51 was only 2.7 Ohms. The +5V and +18V supplies were good. So that pointed to the direction of a fried CPU, but I wanted to be sure it was not something with U14 itself (it got very hot). So I temporarily removed U14 pin 3 (3.3V output) from the circuit and powered the +3.3V rail with my current limited bench power supply. It wanted to draw a lot of current, around or more than 2000mA, so there definitely was something wrong in the circuit áfter U14. My plan was to reduce the maximum current (bench supply in limited Continuous Current mode of around 1000mA, twice the amount U14 could deliver) to see which parts would get hot, the CPU or some of the other digital logic, which would point to a broken CPU or another part. However, after like ten seconds the current dropped from 1000mA to about 160mA and I heard a relay click. After putting U14 pin 3 in circuit again, the output would still be nicely 3.3V . So the short circuit was burnt out of the circuit by providing a little more current, ha! It must have been a tin whisker somewhere, most likely between some of the CPU pins because they are really close together and there were some stains of tin particles. I cleaned the board with IPA. Will test the device for a day, but I think it is a closed chapter now ;-) Also, I desoldered the failure-prone DC-inlet because of some tiny cracks starting to form in the fragile ROHS solder, removed the remaining solder and resoldered it with leaded solder for a stronger, longer-lasting connection.
Groet,

maybe it's the same thing...
