HP 8150 no power issue.

I have a HP LJ 8150 which was giving a "50.1 FUSER ERROR". I swapped out the fuser to verify that it was not the fuser and determined it was the LVPS. I installed a refurb LVPS, and the unit completed a POST and printed 12 pages before completely dying and having no power at all. I assumed it was a faulty LVPS, so I installed a second HP OEM LVPS and the same thing happened. Any suggstions as to what it might be?

?OEM Fuser? It probably is the AC power that is the real problem.
check wires for shorting on the frame. A runaway fuser would not create this problem.

The fuser is a remanfactured one, but I am sure a runaway fuser is not the issue. I am going to bring the unit in from the field and put it on the bench for examination. I am going to look for wire shorts.
