If the little orange neon light no longer comes on, it is a problem with the high voltage board and transformer. The board sits on top between the plates and the fan.

In my instance, the board had become corroded and shorted the terminals of the voltage regulator located on the board. Also, the ground strap around the ferrite core of the high voltage transformer had become corroded an needed replacement. Also, check the circuit paths from the nearest components to the Voltage Regulator pads. Mine blew one of the circuit traces.

All in all, I replaced the Voltage Regulator, Mouser P/N: 595-UA78L12ACLPE3, Transistor P/N: 512-2N4403BU, Timer IC P/N: 595-NE555P.

The voltage regulator feeds the latter two, as well as the high voltage transformer, I replaced those components as a precautionary measure.

The terminals do get corroded, so check those as well. There are no terminals on the high voltage board other than on top of the proprietary potted black box that feeds the target and neon light. Be careful with the terminal on that box because it breaks easy once corroded. As mine did.

Those components fixed my problem with the high voltage board and no neon light.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

- Also, if the plates ever cracked and arced through, and were inside the unit. It probably blew a fuse. Its located next to the ozone out pins that feed the transformer for the ozone plates. Its the circuit board located underneath the unit. The fuse is black and looks more like an electrolytic capacitor as a reference. Mine is .4 Amps @ 250 V. The top is marked 400mA, 250V. Check with an ohmmeter the pin outs, and if the meter shows "OL" or no ohms passing through, it is faulty. Mouser P/N: 693-0034.6711 (400mA, 250V) Check the ratings on your fuse before ordering that part number, your fuse could be different.

- An easy way to check the ozone plates is to put a voltmeter on the primary side of the transformer that feeds the ozone plates, the leads from the circuit board underneath to the transformer. If you get no voltage, it popped the fuse. Don't check the secondary side that directly feeds the ozone plates, if it works you will probably fry your voltmeter. Primary only, no voltage, popped fuse.
