Alpha SY9 - 24 Boiler : No Lights

All the lights have gone out on our Alpha SY9 - 24 (LPG) and the boiler has died. Bioler has stopped working before when we have run out of gas, but even when it is idle there are usually lights on the front. Now there is nothing. Dead as a Dodo.
The boiler is located in the attic. A 13amp plug leads to a control panel in hallway, the control panel is functioning i.e. can see lights, switch on and off etc. and can switch off the control by pulling out the plug in the attic. So we know electricity is reaching the external plug. Water pressure is ok. Full tank of gas. Electric in the rest of the house ok.
We did have a power cut very early this morning when the boiler would have been heating water for showers. Am wondering if this may have knocked it out.
As far as I know the boiler has a 2amp internal fuse (5 yrs old) and am wondering if that has blown but have no idea where to locate it, apparently it is in the boiler block somewhere. Might be possible to replace it but don't fancy having to locate something when I don't know what it looks like and will have to do so in a darkened attic with a torch!
Time to call a professional? I am clueless!

I suggest you start by checking the fuse in the plug?
Run an extension lead into the loft from your upstairs ring main and plug a light into that.No free lunch, and no free laptop
