I need assistance in repairing my G68SL. The unit will not turn ON and the fuse if OK.

Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi jmz

Possible PSU failure, two options really, if you feel comfortable with replacing the PSU yourself do a Google search of the forum for G68 or G61 PSU replacement, if not contact Marc Koval who is US based on this forum and he will quote.

Have to second the recommendation for Marc. Just had my G68 power supply replaced and it is a VERY reasonable cost for either a direct replacement or moving up to the LPSU. This is especially true when you consider the Meridian specific technical expertise you are getting with Marc. He thoroughly tested every function and ended up replacing a few capacitors that I didn't know where burned out when the supply failed.

I can PM his estimates for mine, since it was just a week ago, if you would find it helpful to get a general ballpark.

Any chance that it is still under warranty?

I contacted Marc by email and waiting for a reply. The G68 has no power.

If it has no power at all it's probably not the power supply.

More likely a fuse or the power lead or the socket outlet switch.

It was sent out to Marc for repair. Crossing my fingers it's going to be minor.
