Those photos are all a bit fuzzy, not perfect focus, portions blocked by hands and objects, and not adequate for examining components for problems. And as I look at the style of the rectifier bridge I doubt very much that ic can be successfully unsoldered without damaging the circuit board by loosening the traces.The very first pic in the OP shows the Bridge being tested, .

I'd just clip them off and desolder one by one with some wick and pull each lead out while hot. Too tough to get all of those fat leads hot and solder free at the same time.I have replaced a few without incidence? Just need a a solder sucker and/or dry-wick
I have also made up a custom copper desoldering tip that is wide enough to do all 4 in one stroke.I'd just clip them off and desolder one by one with some wick and pull each lead out while hot. Too tough to get all of those fat leads hot and solder free at the same time.
Although I would have thought a power cord short would trip the outlet breaker, the fuse is after the cord.The failure could even be a damaged mains power cord that was not obvious.
