Urgent... Jv3 not putting down ink

So I've got a jv3 160S I just got up and running ... Reassembled the carriage and started her up and after a few minutes I bumped the head carriage and a data cable flared up due to an apparent short .. The top cable for head three burned up ... The port burned also so I swapped out the slider board .. Everything boots fine and the carriage tries to print when a file is sent from my RIP but the heads aren't dropping any ink... What could the cause be? Main board?? I have spares of everything but have deadlines and wanna know what I should replace first.. If it was just head 3 I'd suspect a fried head but none are firing

Their are no head fuses on the JV3-160S
Their are head resistors on the slider board that can blow.
Also the transistors on the main board can burn out.
I have a JV3-160S sitting idle due to a similar problem!
Wish I had spares like you!!
I would register on the yahoo groups MimakiJV3Printers as their is lots of info on their.
