I removed the head from my Atlantis that I recently purchased to move it into the basement and have reattached it (as I've done many times). Upon powering the machine up the first time, everything came on but I started smelling smoke. I found that the component circled below is the culprit as it was extremely hot (it's right above connector J12 on the main board). I double checked my work and everything looks good. Any suggestions on what is causing the issue?

**Solved - and I feel like an idiot. I had connector J2 plugged into J12. Ugh! Anyways, everything is working. Hopefully I didn't do too much damage.

Quoted from barakandl:

That looks like a lamp SCR??? If you let the magic smoke out, it is probably dead. Might want to take a good look around the PF and get the manual out to make sure whatever that controls is still working.

Yeah, it looks like a handful of lamps are not working. I will replace that 2n5060. What a pain from such a stupid mistake, but on the other hand, it could of been a lot worse.
