Eamon:
This is what I can determine the circuitry feeding pin 9 looks like:


Not sure exactly what "D5" is, it has "HA7" written on it (no luck find the part on google) and it looks like this:

I've drawn it as a regular diode and assumed the polarity because the opposite makes less sense but not sure of the purpose of it, is it just to prevent pin 9 going -ve or is it actually a zenner diode to prevent too high a voltage on pin 9?

Anyway, I put this into LTSpice and it corresponds with the measured voltage at pin 9 and it shows 706.40177µA through R44 (not sure of the input impedance of pin 9).

The analog discovery 2 has a power supply capability between 0.5v and 5v in 0.001v increments so I'm hoping I can use that?  Not sure how to determine what its output impedance is though?

Maybe worth checking C53A.

For short? (Pretty confident it's not shorted) or do you mean to check that it's value matches what the label says?  I was hoping to go as far as I could without needing to de-solder anything first.
shakalnokturn:
I'm expecting a low value. This capacitor gets some harsh current spikes when the PFC is active. MKP capacitors tend to degrade by slowly loosing capacity. A value too low could cause more switching noise to reach the MCU's "AC" sense.
If you must desolder use an iron with sufficient power.

Edit: If desoldering is a problem, for testing you could add a 2.2μF parallel to the existing one see if it makes any difference.
Eamon:
I can confirm that Pin 9 is the direct input for the "AC Plate voltage" value.  I connected my analog discovery 2 power supply to the end of the 150k resistor chain and varied the voltage observing the effect on the "AC Plate voltage", sure enough as I varied the voltage, the reported AC voltage varied between a floor value of 190v (at 1.83v or lower) up to a 255v ceiling (2.45v or higher)

Thanks, I think I'll try that first as my de-soldering skills leave a lot to be desired :).  Now to source a suitably rated capacitor.
This is the existing one:
Not sure where I previously determined that it was 2.2uF but will need to verify that before I can try another in parallel.  But that part number seems hard to find any datasheet for best I've found is this link https://world.taobao.com/item/585823361132.htm?spm=a21wu.24122187-tw.recommend-goods.6 which has a picture with the same markings on it and says it's 2.2uF.  Does that seem like a reasonable value for such a capacitor?

Edit: the "G>" symbol on the capacitor suggests its from "Xiamen Faratronic Co. Ltd" and that took me to http://files.faratronic.com/book/2022/C35-1.pdf which I think means that it is in fact a 2.2uF 630v Metallized polypropylene film capacitor
