One thing I've learned, if ANYTHING goes bad, the BU will blow. It is almost
certainly blown -- pull and check it. While you are at it check C8 (or
whatever the high-voltage poly-p cap is). If your meter doesn't have a cap
checker, it's a god investment (as is the LOPT checker)

When you buy BU406D's get at least a dozen.
