According to other tests here, the BM 78x series has a DC blocking cap as well for ACV above the mVAC range. |

BM789 - I don't see a DC blocking cap in any PC board photos. |

I also had a hard time with that, although I think it is likely to be the lower of the two components I have rectangled here: |

Look close and you may notice the part designator for the larger component shows R. I believe this is one of the shunts but to be clear, I have not spent any time trying to trace it out. |

I don't know where else it could be except perhaps up masquerading as a PTC. I doubt they'd let high voltage get up north of that switch anywhere. I do see a C1 on the back that looks to be in the right spot, but it looks too small? Perhaps SMT HV capacitors are more advanced than I know. |
