Bug Zapper. Needs repair (Palo Alto downtown north.)

Only four months old. No warranty unfortunately. Worked GREAT on mosquitoes until high voltage failed. UV light works fine. I have fixed these in the past, but just don’t have time or patience for this one. It has mostly discrete components with surface mount diodes on the underside of the voltage multiplier circuit board and a few on the upper side of the other board. If you are skilled in electronic repair, it’s usually just an electrolytic capacitor, a diode or HV cap in the voltage multiplier or one of the flyback circuit transistors that fail in these. About a 30-60 minute fix usually. The UV bulbs are pricey. This fluorescent UV bulb is young. Maybe can use in other zappers.
