    I had one with the same issue, I replaced the 2 caps and it worked great for a while and now it is down again with the same error message. Now I have a couple of them with the error. Is there fix beyond the 2 caps ?

There is a 100uf/63v capacitor near the IRF630 fet. You need to replace this in order to fix this error. Along there is also a 2200uf/16v capacitor. It is a good idea to change the both at the same time.

On the big heat sink there is an insulated gate bipolar transistor G4PF50W near the rectifier , remove it and measure it using a digital multimeter. If it is open i.e it cannot read anything then replace it. Also make sure that the rectifier is ok.

DC Bus Fault error can't be repaired by replacing the batteries. It is a board problem. Most of the transistors on the board are toasted. I tried to repair this with no avail. I need a diagram of its board to repair it.

Allways something to remember if replace parts i will give a little hint to this emergency devices if there is a capacitor rolling neccesary to give it an extra long time to live is in this kind of error to think first to measure the flow again which is on the capacitors and how much tolerance is left with respect to the value usually tight chosen by the manufacturer financially gain so that it breaks down faster (from Korea manufactured capacitors effect I call it), if for example, you will find a 10 volt capacitor and there is 9 volts, put your nowadays usually easy good nichicon, rubycon or elna 16 v or even 25 volt type in place so that you have a power reserve and that the life also significantly improves the capacitor cups are now small course, to see if it fits in place for a minimum always 6 volts higher than the selected type capacitor.
