Could be power board? before trouble shooting hardware best rule out software ware first.. Redo all the files first..
load the system clean file twice, then the factory file, then do a hard reboot, load HD20-2028 file. Now try to see if the boot up is faster. Try that first and post back your results..

So you have ruled out software now so its likely hard ware of some sort.. Could be other caps or other resistors on the power board... do you have a spair power board to replace it with to test?
Try unplugging the 8psk and the main coax into the receiver and try rebooting, see if that makes any difference in the boot up.. if not probably is your power board.. might be best to look up on ebay, there is a seller there that will refurbish these power boards..
