Certainly sounds like a power suppy board problem, could be anything on that board, but from your description could well be just the failure of the 'start up' capacitor. If that is the problem I'm suprised you cannot find an 'old fashioned electronics engineer' who could diagnose and replace this inexpensive component, or any other failed capacitors.
Alternatively as mentioned by hazfiend a search of eBay might find a working PSU board.
There used to be a company advertising that they did Humax power supply repairs (as opposed to selling a kit of parts) but I can't find them now.
"Satcure" used to supply PSU refurb kits for different models, but I think someone here said they were not trading anymore.
A real shame if true, as they knew their subject, and had an excellent track record.
A Google of "Satcure" confirms they are closed.

Yes it sounds right so might be worth the OP contacting them.
