Mutoh RJ900c Inkjets not firing

I am dealing with a perplexing issue which I am unable to resolve. Our RJ900c was having issues with a clogged head and ultimately the old head gave us an E077 H Heat error code. I ordered a new print head, installed it, and loaded in fresh inks. When I went to do a nozzle check there was not ink discharged on to the paper. The maintenance station is functioning properly as ink is being pulled through the lines and flowing through the head and in to the waste container; both on ink charging and cleanings. I ordered new print head cables with slim chance that was the issue, no luck. The next step was to replace the CR board on top of the carriage, no luck there either.

The printer itself functions perfectly except for the inkjets firing ink on to the paper. I found two fuses on the main board but they both checked out OK. I didn't remove them but that shouldn't alter the outcome of the test.

Am I missing other fuses that directly control the head? Should I take the next step of replacing the main board? If I replace the main board are there special configurations that need to be done or will it just be the typical reprogramming of settings and alignments?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Fuses

Posting to this tread lead me to a recommended post regarding another Mutoh model printer. One user suggested fuse F2. I had checked two fuses that were visibly on the mainboard without removing it and assumed that these were the only two fuses. I decided to remove the main board and discovered a third fuse hidden behind the heatsink labeled F2. This fuse does not pass a check so I am assuming this is my entire issue. I am sourcing this fuse today and can post back once I have a new fuse installed
 
RJ-900C H Heat

Could you show me some pictures of where the F2 fuse is located? I am having the same issue and it seems like it's just the fuse because everything else is in working order.
 
Nevermind, I took the board out and then saw how small it was! I really hope that this is the solution to my problems. I really appreciate your post because it helped me find the right path I believe.
