Baxi Solo 3 not igniting (no 'clicking' sound)

    Hi there, I have a Baxi Solo 3 which is not igniting. There is no 'clicking' sound when the power is switched on. The 'Boiler On' and 'Pilot on' lights are on, but the 'Fan On' and 'Burner On' lights are both off. I've been able to sort out most of the issues on this boiler in the past (I've replaced the fan, ignition module and re-soldered a dry joint on the PCB over the years), but this one has me stumped. I've looked at the PCB, and all the joints look perfect (one did look suspect so I added a bit of solder to it just in case - but no joy!).

    Would the fan need to be running first before the boiler tries to ignite (click) and thus the fan could be at fault? Even though I replaced the fan probably about 8/9 years ago, I have sprayed a bit of WD40 on it and tried to 'kick-start' it manually, but nothing. But as above, does the fan start working AFTER the boiler has ignited, or is it the the running of the fan first that will allow the sequence continue and lead to ignition?

    I think I replaced the ignition unit about 4/5 years ago.

    Sorry for all the questions, just trying to give as much detail as I can! Many thanks! :)
