You might want to do a quick check on the resistors while you are at it.
Generally speaking, the resistors should be their value or lower when in circuit because any additional paths that they might follow in parallel to their position in the circuit will only bring the total resistance down, not up.
So if you check a resistor and it is either open or it's resistance is higher than the value on the case, you should remove one leg from the circuit and give it a real test.
It's also a good idea to (if possible) identify places in the circuit where there should be ground (zero volts) and a power rail, and make sure those places are not a short.
